Jesus doesn't merely confront sinful actions—He confronts the heart behind…
Main Theme Knowing and doing God's will is essential for a fruitful Christian life. The key factor in discerning and living out God's will is the condition of your heart. Introduction Worship includes receiving God's Word. Series focus: finding/knowing God's will. Message title: “Your heart matters.” Physical heart illustration → emphasizes importance and function. Spiritual heart = intellect, will, emotions (the “real you”). Importance of the Heart The heart determines character and decisions. Types of unhealthy hearts: hardened, bitter, impure. Healthy heart = pure, good, pleasing to God. Spiritual heart health is as critical as physical heart health. Decisions and Destiny Humans make ~35,000 decisions daily. Decisions shape destiny. Process: thought → action → habit → character → destiny. Heart and thoughts are deeply connected (Proverbs principle). God's Will and Planning Planning is good, but must include God (James 4). Key idea: “If the Lord wills.” Approach: Make plans. Submit them to God. Allow God to adjust them. God's will is always better than human plans. How God Reveals His Will Primary way: through Scripture (revealed will). Other ways (secondary): Circumstances Dreams Open/closed doors Other believers/spiritual authority Prophetic words Warning: Don't seek external guidance without knowing God's Word. Revealed vs. Unrevealed Will Revealed will (explicit in Scripture): Salvation (2 Peter 3:9) Sanctification/holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3) Doing good (1 Peter 2:15) Unrevealed will (personal decisions): Which church to attend Who to marry What ministry to pursue Principle: Obey revealed will to better discern unrevealed will. Warning from Jesus (Matthew 7) Not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter heaven. True disciples: those who do God's will. Danger of: Superficial faith Empty words Right actions with wrong motives Emphasis: obedience + right heart. Parable of the Sower (Luke 8) Seed = Word of God. Four types of soil (hearts): Hard path → Word stolen (no understanding). Rocky soil → No root; falls away in trials. Thorny soil → Choked by cares, riches, pleasures. Good soil → Produces fruit abundantly. Key lesson: the issue is not the seed, but the soil (heart). The Condition of the Heart Heart determines response to God's Word. Good heart = noble, receptive, persevering. Scripture emphasis: Guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23). Heart produces actions and speech (Jesus' teaching). Human heart is naturally sinful (Jeremiah). Cultivating a Healthy Heart Requires intentional effort (like tending a garden). Weeds (sin, bitterness, etc.) grow naturally. Needed responses: Repentance Prayer (“Create in me a clean heart”) Ongoing self-examination Possible issues: unforgiveness, bitterness, sin. Illustration: Power of the Word God's Word is incorruptible and powerful. Like a seed that can remain dormant but still produce life. Effectiveness depends on the condition of the heart. Example: King Josiah Rediscovered God's Word. Responded with repentance and humility. God honored his tender heart. Model of proper response to God's Word. Conclusion / Call to Action “Your heart matters.” Choose to cultivate a tender, responsive heart. Respond to God with repentance and obedience. Prayer for transformation and receptivity to God's Word.

In James 5, we are reminded that earthly wealth and indulgence rot away, and true treasure is found in a heart anchored on God, lived out in faithful obedience. Like the patient farmer, the enduring prophets, and Job, we are called to wait with hope, persevere through trials, and trust in God's steadfast compassion and ultimate justice.

In this heartfelt talk, I share the transformative power of unconditional love and my connection to the Cosmic Mother, a divine feminine force guiding us toward balance and awakening. I reflect on the divide between the Earth Mother and Cosmic Mother, mirrored in societal imbalances, our planet, and within myself. I emphasize the importance of inner work, releasing grief and anger, and embracing the sacred union of yin and yang energies. This collective awakening invites me to reconnect with the Cosmic Mother's unconditional love, fostering healing, forgiveness, and a new chapter of balance and creation.Production brought to you by OmToro Wellness + MediaSuzanne Toro Quick LinksWeekly Writings and Well Being Open

In the second message of our “Heart Matters” series, Pastor Dustin Lang unpacks why the heart shows up so often in Scripture—and why it matters so much to God. Drawing from Proverbs 4:23, he reminds us to keep a close watch over our hearts, since everything we say and do flows from it. Unlike many belief systems that focus mostly on outward behavior, Christianity speaks to the heart—because real transformation starts from the inside out. This message invites us to take an honest look at what we believe, desire, and choose—making sure our hearts are pointed toward God.
