A series of Bible messages that addresses the problems that seem to be steadily growing worse every day, both in our country and in the world. We are living in the mist of a global pandemic (Coronavirus) that has adversely affected so many people in so many ways. We are living in a time of great social and political unrest which has divided people in so many ways and resulted in a growing animosity between them. The greatest problem in the world is a spiritual problem, and the greatest need in our world is love. Not the type of love that the unbelieving world usually talks about, but the kind of love that comes from God, the kind of love described by the Greek word “agape” in the New Testament Scriptures. In this series, we explore the meaning and the characteristics of agape love and how it can impact our world for good.
These Bible messages were preached in 2020 (in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and the social unrest over racial issues) by Pastor Gregg Bing during the morning worship service at Grace Bible Church in Fort Worth, TX.

Let the Peace of God Rule in Your Hearts
As we begin the year 20201, we still face most of the same problems we dealt with throughout most of 2020. How do we, as believers in Christ, respond to these life challenges? Proverbs 4:23 tells us that the issues of life spring from our hearts--our innermost being that encompasses our thinking, our emotions, and our will. This message is the first in a 3-part series on the need to "Guard Your Hearts," based on Colossians 3:15-17. In this message from God's Word, we consider the command to believers to "Let the peace of God rule in your hearts.”
Scripture References: Proverbs 4:23, Colossians 3:15-17
From Series: "Guard Your Hearts"
Proverbs 4:23 gives this nugget of wisdom: "Keep (guard) your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life." In this brief 3-part series, we look at three commands given by God through the Apostle Paul in Colossians 3:15-17 that show how we can guard and prepare our hearts to serve the Lord.
