What does God really want from His people?
In this sermon, Rev. Shawn Torres explores the difference between religious routine and genuine faith. Drawing from Hosea, Psalm 50, Romans 4, and Matthew 9, he reminds us that God is not looking for empty religious performance but hearts fully surrendered to Him.
Through the examples of Abraham's faith and Jesus' compassion toward Matthew and other sinners, we see that righteousness comes through faith—not performance—and that genuine faith always produces mercy for others.
True kingdom living is not about perfecting religious habits. It is about trusting God with your heart and extending His mercy to a world in need.
