Examine Your Heart

Posted on by eengle

Listen to Pastor Jonathan Woolner speak on Sunday, September 4th.

Times of change are a great time for self-inventory. Adam and Eve blamed each other for their problems. Let’s not do the same.

Matthew 7:6

Discern the difference between what you can control and what you can’t control. Worry is lethal to thriving. Worry separates you from thriving in the present.

Matthew 5-7

The progression of the sermon on the mount goes from worrying to judging. This is a sequential set of teachings that are not arbitrary or random.

If we do not entrust the things that we worry about to God, we will spend a huge amount of time trying to control others. You can’t control people, places, or things. Be ruthless in examining your heart. Give without strings attached. What is keeping you from facing you? Entrust the situation you can’t control into God’s loving care. This is His church, we entrust it into God’s loving care.
