   Made to Feel: A Biblical View of Emotions V | What I Want, and What He Wills, Mark 14:32-42

   Gethsemane means "oil press," the place where olives were crushed so something precious could pour out. And here, the night before the cross, Jesus says, "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death." This is God in human flesh, and He isn't hiding what He feels. In this final message of our Made to Feel series, Piero walks through how Jesus handles the most intense emotion of His life. He feels it. He tells the friends He trusts. Then He falls to the ground and tells the Father exactly what He wants: "Remove this cup from me." But He doesn't stop there: "Yet not what I will, but what you will." In the first garden, Adam chose his own will. In this garden, Jesus chose the Father's. Feel it, say it, surrender it. That's the pattern Jesus gives us, and it's only possible because He drank the cup so that we don't have to. Even when the Father's answer isn't what we asked for, it may be exactly what our hearts needed. What are you carrying alone right now, and what would it look like to say it honestly to God and surrender it?

   Made to Feel: A Biblical View of Emotions IV | Some Thoughts on Our Feelings, Body, and Environment, 1 Samuel 30:1-10

   But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God. That's the turning point in one of the most devastating scenes in David's life: his city burned, his family taken captive, his own men talking about stoning him. Everything around him and inside him was falling apart. And in the middle of it, he found strength, not by fixing his circumstances first, but by turning to God. This fourth message in our Made to Feel series steps back to ask a bigger question: what actually shapes how we feel? Jingyang traces three forces working on us all the time, our feelings themselves, our bodies, and our environment, and shows how each one carries real weight in our spiritual lives. Paul writes of being so utterly burdened he despaired of life itself, and Jesus in Gethsemane says His soul is sorrowful even to death. Our bodies carry what we go through too, sometimes in ways we don't even recognize until exhaustion or pain shows up where words don't. And our environment, the spaces we build, the habits we keep, quietly forms us more than we realize. But when feelings run dry, when the body is worn out, when the environment offers no relief, Scripture points us back to the disciplines: prayer, worship, fellowship, fasting, the practices that carry us even when we don't feel like doing them. Sometimes the heart catches up to the body, not the other way around. And in the end, like David, we press on because God provides the strength to endure, even when nothing else does. What has God put in your heart about your own feelings, your body, or your environment, and what would it look like to bring that honestly before Him?

   Made to Feel: A Biblical View of Emotions III | What are my emotions telling me? Psalm 42:1-6a; 43:1-5

   What Are My Emotions Telling Me? As a deer pants for flowing streams, so my soul pants for you, O God. Psalm 42 opens not with complaint, but with thirst, a desperate longing for God written by someone far from His presence and aching to return. This third message in our Made to Feel series takes us into Psalms 42 and 43, really one poem split in two, and into what's known as a psalm of lament. Koob traces the pattern honestly: tears that replace food, grief crashing wave after wave, the raw question "why have you forgotten me?" There's no sugar-coating here, because the psalmist knows he's speaking to a God who can handle the full weight of what he feels. But the psalmist doesn't stop at the complaint. Three times he turns and interrogates his own soul: "Why are you cast down, O my soul? Hope in God." That's the turn this whole sermon hinges on, our emotions are honest reporters of what we're carrying, but they don't get the final word on who God is. Feeling forgotten doesn't mean you are forgotten. And if you find yourself cycling back into the same pit more than once, that isn't failure. That's what faith actually looks like. When your soul is downcast, what would it look like to speak truth to it instead of just believing it?
