Imperfect 2 - Hypocrisy
Manage episode 427928719 series 1095834
“The greatest single cause of atheism in the world today is Christians: who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.” - Brennan Manning
What cancer is to the body, hypocrisy is to the church.
Big Idea: Living authentically means committing to transparency that reflects God's truth and love.

1 Corinthians 13:1-3
2. You’re a terrible judge!
Romans 2:2
John 7:24
3. Live Transparently
Romans 2:16
Luke 12:1-3
“We cannot pray in love and live in hate and still think we are worshiping God.” - A.W. Tozer
