What is the heart?
After a physically exhausting week leading one of their community’s yearly outreaches, Cameron and Dr. J sit down to have a conversation about what’s going on inside of us. No, this won’t be anatomical lesson. We’re not thinking of Cupid’s hearts or what you might find on a deck of cards. Yet, Scripture speaks so frequently about our hearts. Stepping into a church, you might hear a pastor invite you to accept Jesus into your heart. What is going on here? What are they talking about? In this week’s episode, Cameron and Dr. J tackle these questions, as well as take a look at some other church traditions and sayings and the meaning behind them.
02:55 — What does it mean to pray in Jesus’ name?
06:24 — In Nehemiah 8:5, the priest Ezra gathered the people who had rebuilt Jerusalem’s wall for the reading of God’s law: “Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up.” Should we stand when the Bible is read?
08:54 — What are some common things people think are in the Bible that are not actually in the Bible?
14:43 — Is it biblical to ask Jesus into your heart? Like, where does that idea come from?
18:46 — Is there a different way we should be communicating what it means to invite Jesus into our hearts?
19:51 — What is the heart?
21:05 — What does it mean to guard your heart?
23:38 — In a recent sermon, you shared the story of David and Absalom. I have a question about that relationship, but perhaps you could give us a quick summary first?
25:20 — Obviously Absalom had a difference of opinion in leadership styles. And, I think we encounter this still often today—both inside and outside the church, right? I guess, a question for us is: when should we remove ourselves from someone’s leadership?
27:46 — How do we hold onto what is good and right and true and still guard our hearts?
30:47 — What do we do if we have become desensitized to the things of God? How do we bring our hearts back to God?
For more content on this episode’s questions, we invite you to check out a sermon by Dr. Jason Karampatsos in the fourth week of the A Tale of Three Kings series at https://nlag.net/sermons/a-tale-of-three-kings-week-four/.
