Protect This House (Part 1)

I pray you are having a great day as you have gathered with us to celebrate the Risen Christ. I am looking forward to being a part of this gathering for the single purpose of pointing to Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith. Malissa has been seeking the Lord as to what we will sing. We have planned, we have prepared, we have practiced so that what we seek to offer before the Lord as we lead will be an offering worthy of who He is. We are glad you are a part of this morning.

Today, we are going into step two of “Seven Steps of a Deeper Walk.” We began last week looking at that first step. If I want to go deeper in my faith, it will start with my surrender. I must take a knee.

The second step that we will cover In part one this morning, is that I have to “protect this house.” “This house…” can be a lot of things. First and foremost, it is my own spiritual health/walk. Secondly, it is my physical family, those who are under my sphere of protection and leadership. Thirdly, it is the fellowship that the Lord will lead me to be a part of, and how my faith fits into that fellowship.

We are going to look at two parts of this today and make some practical applications of how we take these intentional steps to go deeper in our faith. We are glad you are here.
