Above All Else, Guard Your Heart — Part 17
Tuesday, March 4, 2025

Steven Shelley
New Hope Revival Ministries
Pastor Shelley examines pride’s origins in Lucifer’s rebellion through his five “I will” statements in Isaiah 14. Pride manifests not just in obvious arrogance but in subtle self-focus, self-pity, and even depression. The heart and mind become the battleground where this warfare must be won through Scripture application. The antidote is Christ-like humility—a downward path to greatness illustrated by Jesus’ example of service rather than self-exaltation. Above all else, we must guard our hearts.
