How to Take Care of Your Heart | A Heart for Others
About this series
As we return to Sunday meetings we realise that people may have become weary and lost some focus. So in our next series we hope to help people deal well with their internal space as well as grasp opportunities and return to ‘action.’ Of course, these two things are very closely connected as people always live out what is happening internally. By ‘heart’ the Bible means the core of a person’s being; the seat of emotion, desire, thought and decision. The biblical term ‘heart’ relates most closely to the modern idea of ‘mind’.
About this talk
Luke 7:11-16
We look at a remarkable story in Luke 7 that shows us not only the power of Jesus, but the depth of his compassion for people. And we'll be challenged to see how we can be those who have a heart for others just as Jesus did.

Jesus calls many to follow Him throughout the book of Matthew. We look at what it means to follow Jesus and how we can learn from those who follow Him in the Bible.
David’s heart had been prepared in secret, while tending his father’s sheep, through spending time with God and patiently waiting God’s time to appoint him king.
Christians obey God by the Spirit not by adhering to a written code. How can we co-operate with him in that lifelong process?
To know that we are truly loved and accepted as we are is the most fundamental need of every human being and the Christian, above all others, knows this.
In the book of Genesis Joseph’s survival depended on keeping his heart in good shape, which came from learning to trust God’s sovereignty.
One of the challenges of life is ‘losing heart’ - being tempted to give up, losing hope. People lose heart for all sorts for reasons.
The writer speaks of 'guarding your heart' as “everything you do flows from it.” Warning that if we don’t keep a healthy inner life, we will fall into trouble.
This first talk in the series is an opportunity to recognise the importance of taking care of our hearts.
