Welcome to today's sermon podcast, where we delve into the theme of self-deception and the lies we tell ourselves. Inspired by the Apostle Paul's call for prayer and courage in sharing the gospel, we explore how our most frequent deceit is often directed inward. By examining the narrative of King David, we uncover the dire consequences of self-deception and the necessity of seeking God's truth.

This episode marks the beginning of a new series, "Habits of a Healthy Heart," where we will discuss five essential habits for spiritual growth, starting with the practice of self-examination. We are challenged to allow God's light to search our hearts, recognizing and confronting the sins and issues we hide within.

Join us as we seek to change our habits by first inviting God to change our hearts, encouraging a life of integrity and truthfulness. May this sermon inspire you to embrace God's plan for you and pursue a deeper spiritual transformation.
