    Jesus hated pride and used the Pharisees to highlight the evils of that sin. But why would God hate pride, and how would I know if I suffer from it?

     | 6,917 views

    Jesus’ stinging tirade against the hyprocrites and heretics is a righteous condemnation of false religion.

    I get worked up about a lot of things. I get worked up when they change the words to old hymns that are favourites of mine. I get worked up at umpiring and refereeing decisions – perhaps not as much as St. George supporters, but worked up nonetheless. I get worked up when Damien takes the last ...read more

    This sermon speaks to the encouragement of Jesus to live a life of humility which in the presence of God raises us above the norm and exalts our name.

    Humbly Exalted – Matthew 23: 1 - 12 Intro: A Texas rancher met up with a Wisconsin dairy farmer. The two men began talking about their land & the dairy farmer told the rancher that he operated his business on 125 acres. The Texas, not to be outdone said, “Yankee, that ain’t nothin.

    The teachers of the law looked like men who honoured God, but Jesus saw behind their masks.

When he went there, he was horrified to find that the only job they had open was for somebody to play the part of a gorilla.

    Writing Off The Future

    Contributed by Michael Stark on Jun 15, 2014
     | 6,006 views

    Teaching Christian values without bringing our children to faith in the Risen Son of God, condemns them to eternal death. The Pharisees stand as a beacon warning Christians not to succumb to the lure of presenting Christian values.

    “Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples, ‘The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. They tie up heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on people’s ...read more

    based on 56 ratings
     | 62,925 views

    Where do you find your "self-worth"? Is it in God, or in yourself? The Pharisees looked for their importance in themselves and ended up robbing God of His glory to gain their own. How can avoid the traps that ensnared these highly religious leaders?

    OPEN: "Sometime, when you're feeling important Sometime, when your ego's in bloom Sometime when you take it for granted, You're the best qualified man in the room. Sometime when you feel that your going, would leave an unfillable hole, Just follow this simple instruction, and see how it humbles ...read more

    Pharisee Or Holiness?

    Contributed by Craig Benner on Oct 22, 2014

     | 5,573 views

    There are many who would argue that a Pharisee and one who believes in holiness are one in the same. I beg to differ. True holiness affects the external and the internal. It affects the acts and the attitude.

    Are you a Pharisee or are you Holiness? Let us see if there is a difference and determine to understand why some people have trouble differentiating between the two. Pharisee = a person in the role of religious service who believes that his or her title and/or office automatically make him or her ...read more
