Is Christianity just a list of "don’ts"? Don’t swear, don’t dress a certain way, don’t have too much fun-these misconceptions about faith can make it seem rigid and boring. But when you look at Jesus' life, nothing about Him seems dull or rule-bound. In this video, we unpack how rules, when misunderstood, can distort the heart of Christianity, and how Jesus’ focus was always on relationships, love, and transformation.
We explore the parable of the Tax Collector and the Religious Leader (Luke 18:9-14) to see how Jesus warns against pride and self-righteousness when following rules. Instead, He calls us to humility, love, and a deep connection with God. Rules aren’t the goal-they’re tools to help us live in freedom and reflect Christ’s character.
Join us as we discuss:
Misconceptions about Christianity being all about rules.
The difference between rules and relationships in faith.

This message is for anyone who’s ever felt weighed down by religion or wondered what it truly means to follow Jesus. Let’s discover together how faith is about living with humility, grace, and purpose.
