    Beware Of Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 25, 2025
     | 189 views

    In His encounter with Pharisees and Scribes, Jesus discusses the characteristics of hypocrisy. To His disciples He notes the promises of hypocrisy with a stern warning. And yet, in the gospel, we find great hope for hypocrites.
