Here are the sermon notes from this past Sunday, June 19th.  It was Father's Day and there are some appropriate applications for dads in the sermon.  Most of all, I hoped to remind our congregation that purity of heart only comes from Jesus Himself.  As always, you can find these notes in PDF and the sermon audio on the website (sermons.heritagepark.org).  You can also find the sermon audio on iTunes via our podcast.

Taking Aim at Purity

Part 1 – 2 Timothy 2.22

Purity:  cleanliness of heart.

Defining the Heart:  the core of the self.

• It is the place from which you speak and act. 
• It is marred by sin and cleansed by Jesus.
• This cleansing cannot be achieved from an outside source.
• It is the target of Jesus’ redemptive work. 

Cleansing the Heart

• It is not a work of ours but a work of grace (v.25).
• It is coupled with our repentance – rethinking our thinking about my heart.
• It leads to Truth which liberates us from our Enemy.
