Breaking the Deceitful Cycles of the Desperate Heart

February 06, 2026

Summary

No amount of money or sex can fix our self-delusion. Ephesians 4 reveals the darkness of a life alienated from the heartbeat of God. In this message, Pastor Philip Miller exposes the fraud of our addictive, sinful desires and how the gospel breaks the “akrasia” cycle. What if buying a car you can’t afford is a symptom of a seared soul?

This is part one of the sermon, “New Life.”
