Summary
Pagan meditation seeks to suppress the analytical side of the mind and focus on the feelings and of the heart, while Christian meditation is so rational, it can actually cause us to regularly contend with our hearts. This sermon was preached at Covenant Bible Church on Sunday, November 26th, 2023. *If you live in the Austin area, Pastor Joel just started planting a brand new church called Covenant Bible Church in Georgetown, Texas. He would love for you to come visit on a Sunday. Check out the church’s website for details: https://covenantbible.org/

| 0:31.4 | If you would, please stand with me for the reading of God's word. I'll read our text in its entirety. |
| 0:36.4 | When I finish reading the text, |
| 0:37.8 | I'm going to say, this is the word of the Lord, at which point I would appreciate very much |
