Small Steps
In this powerful message, we're challenged to take 'Small Steps' in guarding our hearts, a critical aspect of our spiritual growth. Drawing from Proverbs 4:20-27, we're reminded that everything we do flows from our heart. The sermon introduces the concept of the 'three Ps' we must guard against: Poison (negative influences), Pride, and People who may corrupt our hearts. This teaching emphasizes the importance of being mindful of what we allow into our hearts, as it shapes our character and actions. The message beautifully connects the Old Testament wisdom with New Testament teachings, showing how the Holy Spirit acts as a guard for our hearts when we surrender to God. We're encouraged to reflect on our daily choices and relationships, considering how they impact our spiritual well-being. This sermon reminds us that spiritual growth often happens in small, intentional steps, and invites us to trust in God's guidance as we navigate life's challenges.
