Pour Out Your Heart to God | Jerry Dirmann

God doesn't want your polished prayers. He wants the rawest, heaviest, most unguarded version of you — and there's a 3,000-year-old sacrifice that proves it.

In this Mother's Day message, Pastor Jerry Dirmann takes us deep into the Levitical peace offering (Leviticus 3:1-5) and uncovers two Hebrew words that redefine what prayer is actually supposed to look like. The "kilya" — kidneys — represent your deepest inner emotions: the things you feel before you put them into words. The "kabed" — liver — represents your heaviest, weightiest feelings. And strikingly, "kabed" shares its root with "kabod" — the Hebrew word for God's glory. The fat layers burned alongside them? Those are the walls. The defenses. The protected places you've built around your heart to keep the pain (and the joy) locked inside.
