The People of the Kingdom | Luke 11:37-54

Luke 11:37-54 - In this bold and convicting message, Pastor Rob exposes the subtle yet destructive influence of a religious spirit - a mindset that elevates outward performance, legalism, and pride over intimacy with God. Drawing from Jesus’ confrontation with the Pharisees and lawyers, Pastor Rob walks us through the signs of this spirit: judgment, hypocrisy, entitlement, partiality, and the desire to be seen as righteous without truly knowing Christ. But the message doesn’t end in critique - it moves toward freedom. With a pastoral heart, Rob leads us in a response of repentance, renouncing spiritual pride, and inviting the Holy Spirit to renew and fill us. True discipleship isn’t found in appearances or rule-following, but in a heart fully surrendered to Jesus.

• Have I let pride or performance creep into my relationship with God?

• Do I care more about looking righteous than being transformed?

• Am I walking in the freedom and grace of Christ—or under the weight of religious expectations?
