When Works Aren't Enough: Building a Life That Pleases God

In this thought-provoking sermon, we confront a sobering truth: not all works done in the name of the Lord are pleasing to Him. Drawing from Matthew 7:21-23, we explore the warning Jesus gives to those who prophesy, cast out demons, and perform miracles in His name, yet hear Him say, “I never knew you; depart from me.” This message challenges us to examine the fruit of our lives—not just the outward works we do, but the heart and motives behind them. Are we serving for self-glorification or for the glory of God? Through powerful illustrations and biblical insights, we learn that true faith produces genuine fruit, rooted in surrender to Christ’s lordship. Join us as we uncover what it means to build our lives on the solid rock of Jesus, ensuring that our works align with His will and bring honor to His kingdom. This sermon is a call to authenticity, humility, and a deeper relationship with the Savior.
