Are You Missing the Heart of God? - Matthew S6E5

What happens when following the rules becomes more important than knowing the heart of God?

This week on Deepen, we’re talking hypocrisy, legalism, grace and what it looks like to follow Jesus from the inside out. In Matthew 23, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for looking righteous on the outside while missing what matters most. 

The challenge for us is not just to see where they got it wrong, but to look in the mirror and ask where we may be doing the same.
