A Teaching That Changes Me

In the final message of the Church Shopping series, this sermon centers on “Teaching That Changes Me”—the kind of biblical teaching that goes beyond inspiration or information and leads to real-life transformation. Rooted in James 1:22–25, the message challenges us not to just hear God’s Word, but to do what it says. Teaching that truly changes us must be both biblically accurate and practically applied. We’re reminded that Scripture isn’t about restricting freedom, but about showing us how to live in the freedom God designed for us. Through practical examples and humor—including a story about a dog named Harold—the message makes it clear: showing up on Sunday or reading a passage isn’t enough. Real change happens when we live out what we hear. Come ready to listen; leave ready to obey.
