Passage: Matthew 9:35
A Heart for the Lost
A Vision for Your Heart – Part 3
Above all else, guard your affections. For they influence everything else in your life.
Proverbs 4:23 (TLB)
My vision is that I (we) would increasingly develop:
- A heart for God. 2. A heart for the local church.
- A heart for the lost – Cultivate compassion for people who don’t know Christ. Practice lifestyle evangelism. Be a good neighbor. Offer true friendship & kindness to people who don’t know Christ as Savior. Boldly & frequently share the Gospel.
Questions to help develop my heart for the lost:
