Passage: Revelation 2:1
A Heart for God
A Vision for Your Heart, Part 1
“Above all else, guard your heart, for from it flow the well springs of life.”
Proverbs 4:23
Vision for a heart for God: to passionately love God and protect my heart from idols.
Keep your first love first by recognizing:
2 “‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance Revelation 2:2
1.) The idol of ____________________________________________________________.

2.) The idol of ____________________________________________________________.
