Performance vs. Authenticity

Faith can become performative when it is more focused on being seen by others than being honest before God. In this sermon, Rev. Whitney Peper reflects on Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector, reminding us that authentic faith begins with humility, mercy, and the quiet places where we come before God as we truly are. Guiding Question: Where might your faith be more focused on appearance than authenticity?
