Heartbeat for the Kingdom
A thorough physical exam always includes a timing of the pulse and a stethoscope to the chest. Clearly, one’s heart condition is critical to good health in this life. Like that physical heartbeat, our spiritual heartbeat is equally critical to a healthy life. During the first 4 months of 2009, we want to check up on our heartbeat for God’s Kingdom. We won’t use stethoscopes and stop watches, but we will see how our heartbeat measures up to the standards of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. We will be challenged to develop a heartbeat for the future kingdom that is evident in our present daily life. Throughout the series, we will examine our internal values and our external actions. You will want to check your heartbeat with us every week!
