Passage: Matthew 23:1-5
Series: Matthew (2013)
Duration: 57 mins
Would it surprise you to know that God hates religion? Listen to this lesson to learn how Jesus confronted the Pharisees over their rituals and legalism. Hear five points on the differences between Christianity and religion. See the importance of having a relationship with God rather than trying to impress God with our good deeds. Be on the lookout for false teachers who deny that the Scriptures are the inspired Word of God.

Passage: Proverbs 3:1-12
Series: Proverbs (2013)
Duration: 1 hr 12 mins 33 secs
This passage is organized into a verse with a command followed by a verse with consequences, and ends in two verses regarding correction. There are a number of irresistible consequences for obedience to God’s commands. You would think no one could consider turning away from such a positive, rewarding course resulting in a life with wisdom, guidance from God, lack of fear, direction over our finances and protection leading to abundant living. The reality of disobedience is God’s experience with man, so in the end He encourages us even when correction becomes the exercise of His love for us. God’s correction assures us that abandonment of His own is not a part of God’s nature, and because of that, we are blessed even in His chastening.
