This sermon examines Jesus' sharp rebukes of the Pharisees and religious leaders for valuing outward rituals while neglecting the condition of the heart. He exposes hypocrisy, the burdens of man-made rules, and the danger of seeking human praise instead of Godly holiness.
Listeners are urged to guard against the 'yeast' of hypocrisy, embrace heartfelt repentance, and allow the gospel to transform inward motives so true generosity and obedience follow.
