Heart Problems | Cole Tuck | Avenue T Church of Christ

Sunday, August 30, 2026 Avenue T Church of Christ came together for a special combined English and Spanish worship service on Sunday, August 30, 2026. Cole Tuck presented the sermon “Heart Problems,” with Charlie Rodriguez providing Spanish translation. The world tells us to “follow your heart,” but can our hearts always be trusted? This powerful message examines what Scripture says about the human heart, temptation, sin, truth, and the danger of allowing our feelings to become our ultimate guide. The sermon points to Jesus as the perfect example of surrendering personal desires to God's will. Our hearts may deceive us, but God's heart is trustworthy. The question is not simply, “What does my heart want?” The better question is, “What does God want?” Chapters 00:00 – Welcome & Introduction Combined English and Spanish service begins. 00:27 – The Sickness We Often Overlook Physical sickness gets our attention, but Scripture warns about spiritual sickness. 01:42 – The Problem With the Human Heart The heart affects every person and cannot simply be trusted. 02:02 – “Follow Your Heart” The world's message encourages us to make our feelings and desires the standard of truth. 03:30 – What God Says About Our Hearts Scripture presents a much different picture of the human heart. 04:18 – A Sick and Deceitful Heart Why our hearts can lead us toward destructive choices. 05:12 – When Following Your Heart Leads to Sin The connection between the heart, temptation, sin, and death. 06:35 – The Wrong Destination A fun journey doesn't matter if the heart is leading us to the wrong place. 08:31 – Your Heart Can Deceive You Sincerity does not make something true. 09:14 – Truth Is Bigger Than Feelings Why what we believe in our hearts cannot change reality. 12:23 – The Snake Story An illustration of how real feelings can be based on something that isn't actually true. 14:22 – What Our Hearts Tell Us Why our hearts can rationalize things that God says are wrong. 15:48 – Stop Giving Your Heart Authority We are responsible for refusing to treat our hearts as the ultimate source of wisdom. 16:19 – Jesus in the Garden Jesus provides the perfect example of surrendering His desires to God's will. 18:23 – “Not My Will, But Yours” Jesus chose the Father's will rather than following His own desires. 19:49 – Follow the Heart of God God's heart is pure, holy, good, and trustworthy. 20:21 – Admitting We Have a Heart Problem We cannot address a problem until we acknowledge that it exists.
