Guest Pastor Ryan Kwon continues our "Taking Jesus Seriously" series by examining how we can fall into religious routine without genuine relationship with Christ. Through Jesus's encounters with the Pharisees, we discover how easy it is to emphasize ritual over relationship, tradition over truth, and self-righteousness over heart transformation. This message challenges us to move beyond going through the motions of faith to experiencing the joy, rest and new life that Jesus offers as our Bridegroom and Lord. We're invited to examine our hearts and ask whether we're truly following Jesus or merely adhering to religious rules that keep us distant from the God who wants to be close to us.
