Blind guides - Matthew 23:1-39

What happens when religious leaders know the truth but fail to live it? In Blind Guides, we explore Matthew 23:1–39, where Jesus confronts the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy, pride, and misplaced priorities. Jesus warns His followers not to simply admire religious appearances. The Pharisees knew the Scriptures, taught God's law, and looked the part—but their hearts were far from God. Through a series of strong warnings, Jesus exposes the danger of hypocrisy and the blindness that can come from religious pride. This passage challenges us to consider whether our faith is genuine or merely outward. Are we leading people toward Christ, or are we becoming blind guides ourselves? 📖 Passage: Matthew 23:1–39 🎙️ Sermon Title: Blind Guides 📍 Preached at Free Grace Vernon Jesus' words are challenging, but they also reveal His deep desire for His people to come to Him.
