Actions of the Heart: Holy and Wholly Devoted to God
The message focuses on the concept of time and priorities, emphasizing that time is a gift from God and should be used to align with His kingdom and righteousness. Pastor Brad challenges the idea of controlling or managing time, instead urging listeners to live in the present moment, imitating Jesus in their everyday lives. He critiques the Pharisees for missing the purpose of God's law by focusing on rules rather than transformation of the heart. Using the principle "garbage in, garbage out," he highlights the importance of filling oneself with things that reflect God's holiness rather than negativity or division. The message concludes with a call to seize every opportunity to live like Jesus in ordinary, daily moments, recognizing that all time belongs to God.
Questions for Reflection:
• What are you filling your time with, and how is it shaping your heart?
• What would it look like to fully entrust your time to God?
