About this episode

This episode explores the internal spiritual state of our hearts and the need for transformation through the Holy Spirit.

In this "Best of" episode from Calvary Church Live, we kick off a powerful series titled "The Beast That Lies Within," which challenges us to look past behavioral management and examine the true spiritual state of our hearts. While society teaches us to modify our external actions, Jesus reminds us in Matthew 15 that our words, deeds, and sudden behavioral "slippage" are actually direct symptoms of internal heart issues. Using illustrations ranging from physical heart disease to an apple tree, the message exposes how undetected emotional and spiritual wounds throw off our natural rhythm and cause us to hurt those we love. Ultimately, listeners are invited to invite the Holy Spirit to perform a heart checkup and experience the profound internal transformation promised in Ezekiel 36:26.
