Matthew 23: 1-4; 23-33

1.) Jesus opposed hypocrisy as well.

Truth: When you condemn hypocrisy, you’re already taking steps to following Jesus.

2.) Many people who do “religious” things are only pretending to be God’s people.

Truth: You should not blame the Christian faith for what faith- less people do.

3.) Hypocrisy comes in degrees—and each of us struggles with some measure of it.

Truth: A church should be full of hypocrites as it opens its doors to those who are searching for answers and in need of a

Savior.
