The Path to Seeing God (Matthew 5:8) | The Blessed Life

Pastor Luke Simmons explores what Jesus means when he says, “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). 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.BOOKMARKS:00:00 - Introduction: Until Initiative update & breaking ground05:39 - Big Idea: Your vision of God is clarified or clouded by your heart06:46 - Your Heart: What the Bible actually means by “heart”11:14 - Pure in Heart: Internal vs. external and the single-minded heart15:59 - Seeing God: What it means to “see” God now and in eternity24:25 - Pursue Purity of Heart: Put your hope in Jesus and guard your heart**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/
