(Missioncast) The Heart Of The Matter (Deuteronomy 4:39;Phil 4:5,7)

Jeff and Mim discuss what it means to “take to heart” that the Lord is God. There are many images in the Bible that incorporate the heart, which is the considered to be the center of our emotions and identity. The heart is who we are as people. We are to open our hearts to the work of the Spirit. We lift up our hearts to sing God’s praises. We receive Christ into our hearts. Paul writes that our hearts must be cirucmcised (born again). The prophets promises that hearts of stone will turn into hearts of flesh. The heart is the well-spring, the source of life. Jesus promises that he will give the Spirit who will well up in us like living water. One of the ways we can express the joy and peace in our hearts is to share it with others.
