Meditations of the Heart

Jun 28, 2026    Pastor Lisa Shuler

What fills your heart will eventually shape your words—and ultimately, your life.


In this insightful and practical message, Pastor Lisa Shuler explores the powerful connection between our inner thought life and the words we speak. Scripture teaches that our hearts are the wellspring of our lives, and when our minds are renewed by God's truth, our speech begins to reflect His character.


Drawing from the wisdom of James, Proverbs, the Psalms, and the teachings of Jesus, this message challenges us to examine the meditations of our hearts, reject destructive thought patterns, and cultivate a life that honors God both privately and publicly.


If you've ever struggled with negative thoughts, careless words, or the desire to grow spiritually from the inside out, this message offers biblical wisdom and practical encouragement for lasting transformation.
