How God Changes You From the Inside Out | Cole Ellerbrock | Tomball

You can look spiritually healthy, follow all the right rules, and still feel lifeless inside. In Luke 11:37-54, Cole Ellerbrock explains why Jesus confronts religious performance and shows us a better way. Genuine righteousness is not something we manufacture through appearances or behavior management. God gives us a new heart and produces lasting change from the inside out.• Outside-in performance prioritizes outward actions, personal recognition, and self-interest while neglecting genuine love for God and others.• Through Jesus, God gives us a new heart, a new identity, and His Spirit rather than asking us to earn His approval.• Spiritual fruit grows as we repent, yield control to God, and trust Him to transform our desires, character, and actions.Key Scriptures:Luke 11:37-54Ezekiel 36:25-28John 15:1-5Galatians 5:16-25Psalm 139:23-24Where have you been managing appearances instead of allowing God to transform your heart? Take time this week to repent, yield control to Him, and trust what He says about you. Ask God to deepen your love for Him and produce the kind of fruit that cannot be manufactured from the outside. If this message encouraged or challenged you, share it with a friend or family member who may need the reminder that real change begins with God’s grace.Bayou City Fellowship Tomball Campus | Cole Ellerbrock | July 26, 2026https://linktr.ee/bayoucityfellowship
