Greater Things Than These - Pt 6

Pure Religion

We live in a culture obsessed with image and presenting our best selves to the world—but what happens when that mindset slips into our faith? In this message, Pastor Alan Armstrong opens up about his own teenage attempts to "look the part" of a good Christian before tackling a challenging question: Is having the right appearance, the right accessories, or the right posts enough?

Drawing from James chapter 1 alongside powerful gospel encounters in Matthew, Luke, and John, this episode dives into what scripture actually means by "pure and undefiled religion." You'll discover a three-step pattern modeled by Jesus that moves faith out of the realm of public performance and into life-changing, everyday impact. Tune in to unpack how we can step beyond being mere hearers of the word and start living out a faith that truly transforms the community around us.
