About this episode
Grant Clark explores the importance of guarding our hearts and the impact it has on our lives.
As we begin our new series Above All Else, Grant Clark explores the call to guard our hearts because everything in life flows from it. Drawing from Proverbs 4:23 and the story of David, this message invites us to examine our attention, affection, and direction. What are we letting in, what do we love most, and where is it leading us? Through honest reflection and the hope of Psalm 51, we are reminded that while an unguarded heart can lead us off course, God’s grace can cleanse, restore, and create something new within us. "Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it." -Proverbs 4:23 1. Attention — What am I letting in? 2. Affection — What am I loving most? 3. Direction — What is this shaping me toward? “It [Psalm 51] comes from David’s blackest moment of self-knowledge, yet it explores not only the depths of his guilt but some of the farthest reaches of salvation.” - Derek Kidner “What can wash away my sin? What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.”
