Heart Matters - Big Canoe Chapel - Dr. David Apple

This sermon, based on Psalm 111:1-4, centers on living with gratitude, awe, and trust in God. The speaker reflects on their journey with the congregation over four years, sharing in both joys and challenges, and expresses heartfelt appreciation for this experience. The sermon uses the analogy of the physical heart—emphasizing its importance and interconnectedness with the rest of the body—to draw a parallel with the spiritual heart, highlighting how crucial it is to keep both healthy. The sermon touches on the biblical concept of the "heart" in a spiritual sense, urging believers to love God wholeheartedly, referencing verses like “love the Lord your God with all your heart” and “Your word I have hidden in my heart.” The speaker reminds the congregation of Jesus’ comforting words, “Let not your heart be troubled,” which offer hope and peace amidst life's struggles. A personal story about a severe heart blockage, miraculously managed by natural bypasses, illustrates God's unseen care and provision. This experience, coupled with the support of the congregation, has deepened the speaker's faith and sense of gratitude. The sermon concludes with three key reflections: life is precious and should be lived wholeheartedly, death is inevitable but carries hope for believers, and miracles still occur in ways we may not expect. The congregation is encouraged to praise God, to live fully with faith and thankfulness, and to embody these values as they walk together in their faith journey.
