The Porch

We've heard it over and over again: "Follow your heart." It sounds nice, but in reality, our heart is an untrustworthy guide. Scripture often advises us to lead our hearts, not the other way around. This week, Kylen Perry gives us helpful principles for guarding and training our hearts as we seek to love the Lord our God with everything we have.

What is your life marked by? In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul makes the case that all things we want to hang our hats on mean nothing when they're done without love — and not the kind of love they talk about in greeting cards. This week, guest speaker and pastor of Passion City Church D.C., Ben Stuart, talks about what biblical love looks like and how it impacts the way we interact with the world.

Do you want the appearance of godliness more than God Himself? This week, Kylen Perry takes us to 2 Timothy 3:1-5 to show us the signs of a fake faith that glorifies us more than the God we serve.

What happens when your feel-good quick schemes fall short? This week, Kylen Perry takes us to Ecclesiastes 2:1-11, where the wealthy and distinguished Solomon describes how, in a world of wanting, God is the only one who truly satisfies.

Seeing God clearly changes how we see ourselves. This week, Kylen Perry walks us through Isaiah 6 to see how God’s holiness reveals our need for Him, how His grace saves us, and how being saved by God sends us into a new purpose.
