"Death to the Performance" PART 2 - October 2025 Series


Listen Later

In this message from Week 2 of our Death to Performance series, Pastor Lindsey Melton Jr. takes us into Luke 15:11–24and Romans 5:8–10, revealing the heart of the Father toward His children who’ve wandered.

Sin isn’t just breaking rules—it’s living out of tune with God’s original design. Yet even at our furthest distance, the Father still sees us and runs toward us with compassion, not condemnation.

Discover how Jesus breaks the mindset of earning approval, replacing performance with union, identity, and grace. You’ll learn:

  • What “Hamartia” really means and how sin distorts our telos (purpose).
  • Why the Father runs to meet us before judgment can reach us.
  • How God clothes us with righteousness and restores our authority in Christ.
  • How Screwtape’s old tricks still aim to trap believers in performance.

💬 “Jesus didn’t die so you could keep performing for approval. He died so you could live free, loved, and secure in His finished work.”

Tune in, take a breath, and remember: Home is found in union with the Father, Son, and Spirit.
