The Heart of Jesus - Jesus Heart for the religious

April 30, 2025 • Freedom Church Cheltenham

🔥 The Heart of Jesus for the Religious | Emily Cooke | Freedom Church Cheltenham

When faith becomes more about looking right than living right — we risk becoming just like the Pharisees.

In this moving message from The Heart of Jesus series, Emily Cooke unpacks how Jesus responds not with condemnation, but compassion — even to those trapped in the chains of religion. From Nicodemus to today, Jesus still seeks us out in the dark places of shame, fear, and pride.

Are we more concerned with appearance than authenticity? Do we quote scripture but miss the heart behind it? This talk exposes the quiet companions of religion — and reveals the relentless grace of Jesus that invites us into freedom and a new heart.
