About this sermon

Religion should make you more loving—not more cruel. Ed Lapiz uses Jesus healing on the Sabbath to challenge legalism, judgment, and traditions that hurt people. When rules become more important than compassion, something has gone wrong. Discover why Jesus placed love, grace, mercy, and doing good above religious pride. #EdLapiz #JesusChrist #Religion #Grace #ChristianLiving
