Religion can look holy on the outside while hiding corruption within. In Matthew 23, Jesus directly confronts the scribes and Pharisees, exposing their hypocrisy and denouncing the heavy burdens they placed on others. Pastor Paul shows how man-made religion distorts God’s Word, replaces humility with pride, and blinds people to grace. You’ll learn why Jesus warned against titles that exalt people, why He condemned outward show without inward change, and how His heartbreak over Jerusalem reveals God’s desire for true repentance and faith from the heart.
