The Inside Also

In this sermon, Pastor Jim discusses the importance of having a genuine relationship with God. He uses Jesus' encounter with the Pharisee to highlight the danger of focusing solely on external appearances and neglecting the heart. The Pharisees were more concerned with impressing others than truly loving and serving God. Pastor Jim emphasizes that our relationship with God should not be based on our actions, but rather on the state of our hearts. We must also be cautious of leading others astray by focusing too much on outward actions and neglecting the weightier matters of justice and compassion.
