The King’s Judgment! – Matthew 23:1-39

Pastor Rick Lancaster continues a series in the gospel of Matthew: The Savior-King and His Kingdom. Chapter 23 is a strong rebuke of religious hypocrisy. It also serves to remind Christ-followers to be mindful of their faith. In this message Rick poses several questions meant to help us examine our faith and make sure it is real. The questions are below. Do I practice what I preach? Do I imagine or think of myself as superior to others? Do I humbly serve others or am I hypocritically focused on myself? Am I hindering or helping others to be saved? Am I more concerned about biblical minutiae more than I am with practical truths that lead to humbly serving God and others. Am I focused on how I see myself or on how the world sees me or how God sees me? Or: Am I more concerned about looking holy or about being holy? How do I treat God’s messengers? Matthew’s gospel serves as a bridge between the Old and New Testaments. Matthew seeks to prove to the Jews that Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah. For those of us who are not Jews, Matthew helps us to see our Savior-King more clearly and through his gospel learn to live well in Christ’s kingdom today. Rick is the Senior Pastor of Calvary Chapel French Valley in Murrieta, California. For more information about what is going on at Calvary Chapel French Valley, go to http://ccfv.life.
