In his sermon “Don’t Trust Your Heart,” Cole Tuck challenged one of culture’s most repeated messages: “Follow your heart.” Using Scripture, he revealed how this idea contradicts God’s truth. The Bible teaches that the human heart is deceitful and unreliable, often leading people into sin and self-deception. Instead of looking inward for truth, believers are called to trust in God’s heart, which is faithful, righteous, and anchored in reality. The sermon offered a powerful reminder to lean on God’s Word—not our emotions—for guidance, identity, and meaning.
