Religion To Relationships

Jul 12, 2026    Pastor Steven Taylor

This message challenges us to move beyond merely hearing God's Word to truly listening with our hearts. In Ezekiel 33, God reveals His desire for repentance, not punishment, yet many trusted in religious heritage rather than genuine faith. The same danger exists today—we can attend church, know Scripture, and appear faithful while remaining unchanged. Salvation comes through faith, and authentic faith always produces a transformed life. When we truly listen, the Holy Spirit convicts, changes, and moves us to live in obedience. The real question isn't whether we've heard God's Word, but whether we've allowed it to transform our hearts.
