JESUS IS After Your Heart | Pastor Noah Upton | Discover Church

Most people think sin starts with behavior.

But Jesus teaches something very different.

In Mark 7:14–23, Jesus explains that the real problem isn’t what enters a person from the outside—it’s what comes from within. Pride, greed, lust, envy, anger, and evil all begin in the human heart. This passage forces us to confront an uncomfortable truth: the deepest problem in our lives isn’t around us… it’s inside us.

But the good news is that Jesus didn’t come just to modify behavior—He came to transform hearts.

In this message, Pastor Noah explores why Jesus goes straight to the heart and how real change begins from the inside out.
