Pastor Caleb teaches on the responsibilities of church membership

In this second part of our look at Jesus’ final woe to the Scribes and Pharisees, we focus in on their deep hypocrisy. Though they claimed to honor the prophets, Jesus reveals that they were just like their ancestors who killed them—and would go on to prove it by persecuting and killing God’s messengers themselves. They were filling up the measure of their fathers’ guilt, showing that the same rebellious spirit still lived in them. This passage reminds us that outward religion means nothing if our hearts are far from God.

In this message, we conclude Jesus’ series of woes against the Scribes and Pharisees by examining the final and most severe denunciation in Matthew 23:29–36. Here, He calls out their hypocrisy—honoring the prophets of the past while being just like those who rejected and killed them.

For greater context, we turn to the prophet Isaiah's six woes against Israel and see how they reveal a persistent pattern of spiritual adultery — God’s people turning away from Him while going through the motions of religion.

In Matthew 23:25–28, Jesus compares the Scribes and Pharisees to whitewashed tombs—clean and beautiful on the outside, but full of dead bones on the inside.

In this sermon, we take a closer look at what Jesus meant by this strong warning. He shows us the difference between looking religious on the outside and having a heart that is truly devoted to God.

As Jesus continues to pronounce woes on Scribes and Pharisees, He exposes them as “blind guides” who obsess over trivial ritual details yet ignore the weightier demands of justice, mercy, and faithfulness.

In this sermon on Matthew 23:16-22 we will consider how we can must not make a show of attending to small details while neglecting the weightier matters of God's law.
