Above All Else, Guard Your Heart — Part 20

This message explores the tension between worldly standards of beauty and godly character through two biblical narratives: the proud daughters of Zion in Isaiah 3 and the humble Esther before King Ahasuerus. Pastor Shelley warns against the gradual compromise of biblical standards while emphasizing that true holiness flows from the heart. The sermon presents Esther as a type of the Bride of Christ who discovers what pleases the King rather than adorning herself according to worldly standards, ultimately finding favor through her meek and humble spirit.
