Today we begin a new series called Framing Your Heart. Throughout the entire Bible God has made clear his desire to have our hearts. “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart…” “Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” “God blesses those whose hearts are pure, for they will see God.” All words spoken by Jesus.
So if God desires to have our heart, what should be the framework of a heart that is after his heart? Here at the Christian Alliance Church we have three core values that we believe indicate a heart after God’s heart.
We seek to Love Jesus with all of our heart. You might say the foundation of a Christian life must begin in the understanding of who Jesus is and what he has done for us on the cross. To Love Jesus means we seek to honor him in every area of our life — to actually live a life of worship to him.
We believe in the power of community. Seeking to Grow Together because there is power in doing life together. There is so much hope in knowing that others are encouraging you in your pursuit to know Jesus more. Growing in community supplies the necessary framework to inspire our faith to deepen.
We encourage people to seek to make a difference in the world for the Kingdom of Jesus. To Serve Your World with the gifts he has given you. Serving is such an effective way to help others discover the joy of knowing Jesus. To serve others is a window into the heart of God.
May God help us to Love Jesus more. May he provide many opportunities for us to Grow Together in our faith. And may we seek to Serve Our World as faithfully as he has.
