It’s possible to be deeply religious and still completely miss Jesus. Saul of Tarsus knew the Scriptures, kept the rules, and thought he was defending God — until an encounter with Jesus changed everything.

In this message, Pastor Bob challenges us to move beyond rule-keeping and appearances to discover what real faith looks like — a faith that’s Spirit-led, grace-filled, and free from the constraints of empty religion.

We’ll explore why God despises “religion” without heart transformation, how judgment and favoritism creep into our faith, and what it truly means to be a church that reflects Jesus rather than just playing church.

👉 Key Passage: Romans 2

👉 Theme: Freedom from religion, transformation through relationship

👉 Big Idea: Real faith doesn’t check boxes — it changes hearts.
