"We must protect this HOUSE!" | Wise up & RISE up- the Proverbs of King Solomon | Ps. Jazz Cathcart
We've all gotten our hearts CRUSHED!
It's an inescapable reality of life.
And when you go through something traumatic and/or deeply painful, the tendency is to TRY to do life with a protective WALL around our hearts... a SAFEGUARD to avoid getting our hearts crushed again!
Just one problem...
God made us in His image and so we are irreducibly RELATIONAL!
We can never be deeply whole or deeply happy in isolation and apart from meaningful relationship with others.
We must put a GATE around our hearts, not a wall.
A gate allows us to keep the WRONG things and people out, but to allow the RIGHT things and people in while God grows us and makes us whole.
During his time, King Solomon was known as the baddest man on the planet- not merely because of his insane net worth but his GENIUS and WISDOM.
He famously said, "Above all else, GUARD your HEART because everything you do flows from it."
-Proverbs 4:23
In this message, Pastor Jazz Cathcart helps us explore how to play both defense AND offense in the game of life, not ONLY protecting our hearts and minds from danger and threats, but proactively GIVING our hearts and minds what they need to THRIVE for God's glory and the good of our world.
