God isn’t after your steps—he wants your heart.

Summary

This sermon addresses the danger of religious performance over genuine heart connection with God, contrasting the obedience of Joseph's fear with the Father's love. It highlights that even consistent churchgoers and scripture readers can be closer to God when they acknowledge their distance than those who perform religion out of fear, concluding that true faith requires God having our heart, not just our actions. The resurrection message is for all, not just those outwardly estranged from God but also those inwardly disconnected despite outward religious practice.
