Pastor Bill Bush · Sep 8, 2025
Drawing from Psalm 42, Pastor Bill argues that feelings are real but not reliable — they function as a check engine light that signals something is happening in our hearts, but they must never be allowed to drive our decisions. The psalmist models two essential responses: first, question your feelings rather than obey them, digging beneath the surface to diagnose what is truly going on; and second, declare the truth by actively stepping into what God says is true, even when it doesn't feel right. Jesus Himself demonstrated this pattern in Gethsemane — honest about His feelings, yet surrendering to the Father's will.
