My Heart - Christ's Home - Almost 40 years ago, a tiny booklet was published called My Heart - Christ's Home by Robert Boyd Munger. It was based on Ephesians 3:16-17, "I pray that out of His glorious riches He may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in you inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith." Over the next several weeks, we will walk through each "room" in our hearts to allow Jesus to have lordship over every area.
- The Workroom - "Apart from Me, you can do nothing" (John 15:5). Remain in Jesus and allow Him to produce the fruit in your life. It's not about your ability, but your availability to Him. Allow Him to use whatever He has given you for His Kingdom (gifts/talents, money, athletic ability, home, vehicle, etc.)
