Sermon Series

"Taming Your Inner Pharisee"

Matthew 23:1-12, 23-26


Pastor Bryan Eckelmann


"Practice what you preach!" In this chapter, Jesus scathingly rebukes the clergy for their false religion. And his words were recorded and written so that WE would hear them -- so Matthew no doubt intends those words for THE CHURCH. So, how do we tame the "pharisee" that is inside each one of us?


FREE JOURNALS! If you haven't already picked up your Matthew journal, they're available at the entrance to worship on Sunday. Make sure and ask an usher.

Sermon Reflection Questions available on the Small Groups page of the website Friday evening.
