Feeling or Father: Choosing God's Will Over Our Emotions - Ryan McVety - Season 14 Episode 7

FEELING OR FATHER | Pastor Ryan McVety | The River Worship | Season 14 Episode 7 Are you living led by your feelings… or by your Father? In this powerful message from Season 14 Episode 7 of The River Worship, Pastor Ryan McVety unpacks one of the most important daily battles every believer faces: Feeling or Father. In Matthew 26, Jesus is in the Garden of Gethsemane. Overwhelmed. Troubled. Deeply sorrowful. Yet He prays, “Not as I will, but as You will.” Even Jesus had to choose. This sermon will challenge the modern cultural mantra of “follow your heart” and replace it with a Kingdom truth: Feelings are real, but they make a terrible god. Main Points: 1. There Are Only Two Directions Galatians 5:16–17 Flesh or Spirit. Feeling or Father. You cannot walk toward both at the same time. 2. What You Feed Grows Galatians 6:8 Whatever you rehearse emotionally multiplies internally. Feed insecurity, it grows. Feed fear, it grows. Feed faith, it grows. 3. Jesus Felt Deeply but Trusted Fully Matthew 26:36–39 The key is not what you feel. It is what you enthrone. Key Scriptures: • Matthew 26:39 • Galatians 5:16–17 • Galatians 6:8 • Romans 8:6 • Proverbs 4:23 • Jeremiah 17:9 • Ephesians 4:14 Practical Application: • Stop letting feelings drive the car. • Guard what you are feeding your heart. • Talk faith to your feelings. • Choose daily who sits on the throne. Feelings are loud.But only the Father brings peace.
