Self-Deception

Pastor Bill Bush · Jun 24, 2019

Drawing on the Parable of the Two Sons in Matthew 21, Pastor Bill argues that genuine Christian faith is not measured by church attendance, biblical knowledge, or outward religiosity, but by a heart that continually repents — that is, turns away from self-directed living and back toward God's mission of loving and pointing people to Jesus. Like the first son who initially refused but later obeyed, real faith means honestly owning our disobedience, whether driven by fear, distraction, or comfortable tolerance, and choosing to turn wholeheartedly toward the Father's vineyard today.
