About this episode

Jesus tears down religious, man-made fences designed to keep us from God. The best spiritual offense is a good scriptural defense. The burden of religion can only be lifted with the mercy of God. Works based salvation is an unattainable standard, and a deep, theological lie. In today’s episode, Alex will preach about how Jesus tears down religious fences, while also becoming our defense and righteousness. Matthew 12:1-8
