Understanding God's Heart | Pastor Justin Senesi

About this episode

Pastor Justin Senesi discusses the nature of God's heart towards us, emphasizing His caring and loving emotions.

As we close out this series on learning how to be more like Jesus, we have to touch on the idea of His heart. How does Jesus, and by extension, our Heavenly Father, feel about us? What emotions and plans does He have for us? Despite how we often feel about ourselves, the truth is God's heart towards us is caring, gentle, tender, and fiercely loving. If you've ever struggled with self-hatred, identity, or doubts about God's continuing, lasting forgiveness, we pray this message brings you the hope and truth you need!
