About this message

What happens when we look like we’re following God on the outside, but our hearts are far from Him?

In Matthew 23, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for their hypocrisy, legalism and self righteousness, exposing the danger of doing all the right religious things without truly loving God.

Following Jesus isn’t about how well we look, how closely we follow the rules or how much we do for Him. More than anything, God wants our hearts, and everything else should flow from our love for Him.
