In this message from our series “A Blessed Life,” Luke unpacks what the Bible means by “heart,” why purity of heart matters, and how it clears or clouds our vision of God. He also shows how we can pursue a pure heart through trusting Christ and guarding what we allow to shape our inner life.\nBOOKMARKS:\n00:00 - Introduction: Until Initiative update & breaking ground\n05:39 - Big Idea: Your vision of God is clarified or clouded by your heart\n06:46 - Your Heart: What the Bible actually means by “heart”\n11:14 - Pure in Heart: Internal vs. external and the single-minded heart\n15:59 - Seeing God: What it means to “see” God now and in eternity\n24:25 - Pursue Purity of Heart: Put your hope in Jesus and guard your heart\n**HOW TO FIND US*** \nSUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZ\nFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ \nINSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/\nWEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/GXBDgMRY5m7yxi_HlS4goT2oQ2OZEF4Z7EEPKUzxBTY/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIzMTg1LzE3MDQ5/MjA2NzYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
