Stop Trying To Impress God | Keys To The Kingdom

February 23, 2026

Have you ever felt like your relationship with God rises and falls based on how well you perform?  Like if you pray enough, serve enough, obey enough — then maybe you’ll finally measure up?  In this message from our Keys to the Kingdom series, we look at what Jesus meant when He said our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. It sounds impossible… and that’s exactly the point.  The good news?
Righteousness has never been about performance. It has always been about faith.  From Abraham to Moses to the cross, Scripture shows us that right standing with God doesn’t come from impressing Him — it comes from trusting Him.  If you’ve been trying to earn what Jesus already accomplished, this message is for you.  You don’t have to impress God.
You can trust Him.
