There's power in a name both to tear down and to build up. In this episode of Deepening Your Faith, Pastor Daniel examines what Jesus says about names and honorific titles in Matthew 23:8-12 and how these teachings apply to names and titles within the church.

Are there two levels to the Christian faith? Is the first level of following Jesus when you get saved and become a Christian? And is the second level of following Jesus when you get serious about obeying Jesus and become a disciple? 

Find out in this episode of the Deepening Your Faith podcast with Daniel Eichelberger, pastor of Providence Baptist Church in McLean, Virginia.

A commonly misunderstood Bible verse is Matthew 5:20, which states that to enter the kingdom of heaven, our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. Many people claim that Jesus' point is that the scribes and Pharisees were very religious people; therefore, we must be even more spiritual than they were to enter into heaven. 

But what if Jesus wasn't using the religious leaders as a positive example? What if Jesus used them as a negative example? What if Jesus' point was that the kind of righteousness that grants you entrance into heaven must be categorically different than that of the scribes and Pharisees? 

Those are the questions Pastor Daniel Eichelberger explores in Episode 8 of Deepening Your Faith.
