Holy Hypocrites
Matthew 6:1-6
Pastor Dan Erickson
May 28, 2023

Are you a different person on Sunday mornings than the rest of the week?

Jesus and those who pretend to be godly


PRACTICING RIGHTEOUSNESS TO IMPRESS OTHERS

Giving money to impress others (or yourself)

Praying in public to impress others

Fasting to impress others

HOW DO WE RESPOND TO WHAT JESUS SAYS?

We need to ask the Lord to forgive us for our hypocrisy

We need to stop pretending we are better than we really are (James 5:16)

We need to get out and stay out of the trap of trying to impress others

We need to strive to actually be a godly person


A CHRISTIAN’S DAILY PRAYER

As morning dawns and day awakes
To You I bring my need
O gracious God, my source of strength
In You I live and breathe
Each hour is Yours by wisdom planned
Each deed empowered by sovereign hands
Renew my spirit, help me stand
