Make-Believers

Pastor Bryce Copeland (Student Pastor) - Matthew 23 (Matthew 5:37; 11:30; 22:37-40; 23:1-36; 1 Corinthians 10:12)

 

What is your opinion of Religious people?

You know, the ones who have the holier than thou mentality. The ones who have tons of rules, and love to tell you about all their rules. What do you think Jesus thinks of those people? In Matthew 23, Jesus calls out the hypocrisy of the religious scribes & pharisees. Jesus did not appreciate the fakes, the make-believers.

Learn how God wants you to have a relationship with Him, not be religious.
