The Sabbath Showdown

In “The Sabbath Showdown,” Pastor Nate unpacks Jesus’ dramatic healing of a man with a shriveled hand in the synagogue, exposing the Pharisees’ legalism and hard-heartedness. With pastoral insight, Pastor Nate highlights how Jesus models costly obedience—doing right regardless of opposition—and warns how unchecked compromise, pride, and tradition can calcify the heart, leading even religious leaders into hypocrisy and sin. This message calls believers to bold faithfulness, examining their own hearts and embracing mercy, even when it provokes conflict.
