Heart Transformation Through Christ: Guarding Our Words

This risks leaving listeners feeling burdened by unattainable standards instead of freed by grace.
Biblical Parallel (Archetype): Ephesus — The sermon emphasizes behavioral change without clearly connecting it to the gospel's transformative power, reflecting a need for deeper reliance on Christ's finished work.
