Most people assume Christianity is about trying harder to do better. But no matter how much effort we put in, real and lasting change always feels just out of reach. Why? Because our behaviors are rooted in something deeper. Anger, greed, manipulation—they all reveal something broken on the inside. In this message, we look at what Jesus said about true transformation: it doesn’t happen by striving, but by staying connected to Him. When we spend time in His presence, His character begins to take root in us—and that’s when everything starts to change.
