Restore | How Is Your Heart?

To be restored is to be formed into the image of Jesus. How does this happen? In this series, we’re focusing on who we’ve been called to be as a Church by recentering Jesus and remembering our call as disciples. This week, we’re speaking to how our life with Jesus always moves us deeper than what we know and how we behave into who we are – and who we’re becoming in Christ.

 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

I am confident that the Creator, who has begun such a great work among you, will not stop in mid-design but will keep perfecting you until the day Jesus the Anointed, our Liberating King, returns to redeem the world.
