Heart Integrity

July 16, 2023 Speaker: Tim Rice Series: Character & Integrity in the Proverbs

Passage: Proverbs 4:11-27

Memory Verse for the Week: Proverbs 4:14-15, 26 (ESV)

Do not enter the path of the wicked, and do not walk in the way of the evil. Avoid it; do not go on it; turn away from it and pass on. … Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.

Intro: By what grid do you think and evaluate all you do?

HEART INTEGRATION
What does it mean to internalize a perspective?

IMMEASURABLE WORTH vs. HEARTLESS THIEVES
Why do we guard anything? And what does that reveal?

THE TREASURE OF WISDOM & KNOWLEDGE
What is the goal for someone who trusts Jesus?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD for freely giving wisdom to all who ask in faith. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit that by His wisdom and kindness He would dwell even in our hearts through Christ.

2. How have you failed to guard your heart from folly so that you have trashed what is precious and you’ve held dear what is worthless? Confess your folly and destructiveness to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and to restore you.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for entering into the deepest darkness of the Cross to cleanse you of your sin. And thank Him that by His resurrection He is the source of light and life, worked right into your heart by His indwelling Spirit.

4. Who do you know that lives foolishly, neglecting to guard their heart? Pray for them, asking the Lord to have mercy upon them and to save them from their perilous condition.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to grow in you the regular practices of forming Jesus’ character in you by His means of Grace. Pray for faithfulness in daily repenting and believing the Gospel, daily dying to your self and trusting Jesus to work in your heart as only He can.
