Upside Down Kingdom - wk5

According to the CDC, about 735,000 Americans have a heart attack every year. One in every four deaths is caused by heart disease, making it our number one killer. Most of us know if we are at risk for heart disease, and we take steps to lower our risk – like exercising and changing our diet.

But what about spiritual heart disease? When we see the word “heart” in scripture, it refers to the seat of our will, our intellect, and our emotions. The Bible has a lot to say about the condition of the average person’s heart. Our heart can be proud, hardened, and deceitful. In other words, we can have spiritual heart disease.

This Sunday we are going to look at what it means to be pure in heart. Those who are pure in heart are clean on both the inside and the outside. And Jesus promises that those who are clean … those who are pure in heart … will see God.

Do you want to see God? Make the choice to lower your risk of spiritual heart disease. Join me Sunday as we learn from Jesus what it means to be pure in heart.
