Legalism | What Made Jesus Mad | Aaron Pennington - Lead Pastor

Описание: Have you ever felt like following Jesus has become more about rules than relationship? This week, Lead Pastor Aaron Pennington unpacks what legalism really is and why it breaks the heart of Jesus.

Legalism turns faith into performance, but Jesus came to bring freedom through grace. In this message, Pastor Aaron shows how the old covenant law was fulfilled through Christ and how we can live in peace instead of pressure.

Through Galatians and Matthew 11, we learn that God does not want us to perform for Him, He wants us to do life with Him.

In this message, Pastor Aaron shares how to:
• Recognize and uproot legalism in your life
• Rest in the finished work of Jesus
• Trade pressure and performance for peace and presence
• Live from grace instead of striving for it

📖 Key Verse:
“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Matthew 11:28
