Programmed or Born Again

This message challenges believers to examine whether they are simply “programmed” by routine religion or truly transformed through a new birth in Christ, emphasizing that God desires growth, relationship, and heart change; not just rule-following. Using the contrast between machines and people, Pastor Norman Howell calls us to move beyond surface-level faith into intentional spiritual maturity, where we live as sons and daughters led by the Spirit, not just trained to perform.
