When Jesus Looks At Your Church, Does He See THIS?

About this episode

This episode discusses what Jesus looks for in a church, emphasizing gospel-fueled sanctification and good works over mere friendliness and polish.

Your church might be friendly, polished, and still earn a failing grade from Christ. The book of Titus shows what Jesus actually looks for: gospel-fueled sanctification, a culture of graciousness, and good works that flow from grace—not performance. If your church feels “nice” but shallow, this will give you a biblical filter to see what’s missing. ___ Thanks for listening!
