About this message

What happens when religion gets in the way of redemption?

In Matthew 21:23–22:14, Jesus confronts the religious leaders through three powerful parables that expose the difference between simply looking religious and truly surrendering to Him. We see that salvation cannot be earned through good works or religious activity.

The invitation to the Kingdom is extended to everyone, but we must respond with repentance, faith, and surrender to Jesus.
