Living from the Heart

FIRST15
About this episode

In the last devotional of this series on God’s pursuit of our hearts, we’re wrapping it all up by looking at what it means to live from the heart. There are so many places to live from, so many different ways to go about a day. But God, in his power and love, wants to free us to live from the heart, to share with the world who we truly are, and how he is fully meeting with us. May God use our time today to empower us to advance his kingdom in meaningful, authentic ways.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 62:8, and today's worship is Heart Like Heaven by Hillsong United.
