Hope For Hypocrites

Jesus has zero tolerance for hypocrisy. Jesus has unlimited grace for a sinner seeking forgiveness.

In Jesus’ time on Earth, He wasn’t interested in token gestures. He didn’t care about outward behavior. He challenged the “religion” of the day. He smashed preconceptions. He called out haters and critics. He shook up anyone whose faith was lukewarm, and He brought hope to the broken, the lost, and those tangled in sin by showing them what true worship could be. 

In this series, we’ll go beyond the simple slogans of what it means to follow Christ, and open ourselves up to discover the knots in our lives that Jesus wants to undo, so that we can live an authentic faith.

Questions for the Road:

1. In what area of your life do you struggle to show your honest self?

2. How does the idea of asking God to “Search Me" make you feel? What do you feel most resistance to internally in praying this prayer?

3. If you’re ready, pray Psalm 139:23-24 in bold faith. It may be helpful to write out what your hear Holy Spirit saying in response, and what steps you are being led to next.
