Matthew 12:9-21

Pastor Willie Behrends

Hypocrisy is dangerous because it can hide corruption behind a mask of righteousness. Today we’ll witness an encounter between Jesus and the Pharisees that exposes their hypocrisy.

Here’s how hypocrisy plays out, and Jesus’ response…

I – A __________________ on the Sabbath! (9-10)

II – Their __________________________ is exposed!” (11-13)

III – The Fallout: _____________ -vs- _________________! (14-21)

Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself…

1. “Do my _________________ keep me from helping someone?”

2. “In what area(s) of my life am I a ________________________?”

3. “How can I be ___________ when facing __________________?”
