Evening Service – The Heart (Jesse Lockhart, 5‑24‑26 PM)

In this message on the heart, Bro. Jesse walks through God’s choosing of David in 1 Samuel 16, showing that while man looks at stature and appearance, God looks directly into the heart—the true core of a person. He explains that humanity’s natural heart is hardened, wicked, and incapable of producing righteousness, and that salvation is not behavior modification but a supernatural heart‑transplant where God removes the stony heart and gives a tender one that can feel, love, obey, and desire the things of God. Using Scripture, personal testimony, and vivid illustrations, he shows how the new heart produces new desires—love for people, hunger for God, and a willingness to be shaped like clay on the Potter’s wheel. The message ends with a call for continual self‑examination, asking God to search the heart, expose hidden ways, and shape believers into people whose inner life reflects Christ rather than outward appearance.
