    Beware Of Hypocrisy Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 25, 2025
     | 217 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.

    It seems like nearly every month (maybe even more frequently if we look hard enough), we receive news about some Christian leader who fails morally, gets caught, and is removed from ministry. Whether it’s pastors, professors, performers, or politicians - failure happens. We see hypocrisy ...read more

We need Him the way lungs need oxygen, the way a branch needs the vine, the way a traveler needs the road home. Without Him, faith collapses under its own weight. Without Him, ...read more
