Follow Your Heart

It’s the most common advice in the world: "Follow your heart." But is it biblical? In this sermon from our series "Did the Bible Really Say That?", we put this popular phrase to the test and discover that Scripture offers a radically different—and far more reliable—path to life.

Join us as we explore what the Bible really says about the human heart and how we should live.

Key Scripture & Themes:

• Jeremiah 17:9-10 - The Deceitful Heart: We start with the Bible’s shocking diagnosis: the heart is deceitful and sick. If we can’t trust our own hearts, what can we trust?

• Matthew 15:10-20 - The Source of Defilement: Jesus confirms that the heart is the source of our deepest struggles, not a pure guide to be blindly followed.

• Proverbs 4:20-27 - The Call to Guard Your Heart: The Bible doesn’t say "follow your heart"; it says GUARD it. We explore the active, intentional discipline of protecting our inner world.

• Proverbs 3:1-8 - The Call to Trust the Lord: The true biblical alternative to following your heart is trusting the Lord with all your heart. We discuss what it means to lean not on our own understanding.

• Matthew 6:19-24 - Where is Your Treasure?: Your heart will always follow what you treasure most. This sermon challenges us to re-examine our priorities and align our treasures with God’s kingdom.

• 1 Samuel 16:7 - What God Sees: While man looks at the outside, God looks at the heart. This is not a command to follow our heart, but a call to cultivate a heart that is pleasing to Him.

This message will challenge you to move beyond cultural clichés and embrace the life-giving freedom of a heart fully submitted to God.
