Nate discusses how we can miss the spirit of God's commandments even when we follow them literally. He uses the example of the Old Testament Jewish ritual of the tithes, arguing that the scribes and Pharisees missed the bigger picture by focusing on the minutiae like the weighing of spices. The sermon then shifts to the topic of the Sabbath, with Jesus explaining that the Sabbath was made for man to rest and connect with God, and that hypervigilant judgement of those who were perceived to do work on that day was misguided.
