Examining the Pharisees: Legalism Over Spirituality
Date: August 28, 2022
Speaker: Pastor Richard
Description:
Pastor Richard's messages explore the beliefs and practices of the Pharisees during Jesus' time using biblical references from John 3:16-20, Matthew 15:11, Mark 7:14, Matthew 23:13-26, Luke 10:25, Matthew 22:34, Mark 12:28, and Matthew 19:3. It examines how their strict adherence to the law lacked a true spiritual connection to God.
Topics covered include:
- Their emphasis on Mosaic law and oral traditions over a personal relationship with God (Luke 18:9-14)
- How Jesus opposed their hypocrisy and blind legalism (Matthew 23:27-28)
- Their lack of mercy, faith, and inward holiness (Matthew 23:23)
- Jesus' offer of eternal life for believers but condemnation for unbelievers (John 3:16-18)
- Their judgment of those who worshipped differently (Acts 5:17-18)
Pastor Richard calls for self-reflection on walking in the light and finding freedom in Christ.
Summary:
The Pharisees strictly followed the Mosaic Law and oral traditions, believing this made them righteous. However, Jesus condemned their hypocrisy and lack of inward holiness (Matt 23:25-28). Though they judged others' worship, Jesus offered eternal life to those who believed and condemned unbelievers (John 3:16-18). This video examines their legalism and lack of a real spiritual relationship with God.
