Making Room for Jesus: Taking Every Thought Captive

http://www.frankfortpresbychurch.com/

In the Christmas story, the innkeeper lets Mary and Joseph stay in the stable because there was no room for them in the inn. And each one of us is like an innkeeper, and we get to decide if there’s room for Jesus in our hearts. In order to make room for Jesus, we have to take control of the clutter.

This month we’re going to talk about making more room for Jesus by taking control of the clutter in our hearts. Specifically, we’re going to talk about the clutter of WORRY and FEAR and UNFORGIVENESS, three kinds of clutter that are particularly difficult to take control of; three kinds of clutter that need discipline and strategy and support and concentration to control. But we don’t want to just control our heart-clutter--we want to conquer and ultimately DEFEAT it so that we can live to as a servant of God, not as a slave to the clutter in our hearts.
