True Religion and Counterfeit

person Rev. John Wagner

The sermon emphasizes the critical importance of aligning actions with faith, warning against a superficial profession of belief that lacks genuine obedience. Drawing from the parable of the wise and foolish builders, it highlights the necessity of building one’s life upon a foundation of actively doing God’s teachings, rather than merely hearing them, to withstand the inevitable storms of life and ultimately face judgment with assurance. The message underscores that true religion is demonstrated through consistent action and a commitment to living a life pleasing to God, contrasting sharply with the fate of those who build on a foundation of empty words and ultimately face a devastating fall.
