The Heart that Corrects

Is God punishing me, or preparing me?

In week four of Heart of God, Pastor Seth works through Hebrews 12 and what Scripture actually means when it talks about discipline.

The message covers how to tell the difference between God's correction and the enemy's attack, why the wilderness shows up everywhere in Scripture, and what it means that difficulty often reveals before it changes.

"Satan attacks who God says you are. God confronts who you've made yourself to be."

"Sometimes God knows what's coming in your not-so-distant future, and He knows you today aren't ready for it. His discipline isn't always a reaction to bad behavior. It can be deep preparation for something more."

"He loves us exactly where He finds us. But He loves us too much to leave us there."
