Today, Jesus warns us that leaders can become a barrier to the kingdom of God! We each need to examine whether OUR faith leads people toward God or stands in their way! Jesus focuses on three things their leaders were doing… I – They’re access to God! (Matthew 23:13-15) II – They’re honest devotion! (Matthew 23:16-19) III – They’re God’s authority! (Matthew 23:20-22) Today’s ‘Take-Aways.’ Ask Yourself… 1.“Do I make it to come to Christ?” 2.“Have I learned how to spiritual?” 3.“Is God the complete in my life?” NEXT WEEK: Clean Outside – Corrupt Inside!
