About this listen
Main Text: Matthew 15:1-9 (ESV) 1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2“Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” 3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,” 6he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God. 7 You hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, when he said: 8 “ ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
Preaching Point: If you want to live a holy life, you can’t rely on outward performance or human traditions; instead, you must rely on God to transform you from the inside out.
Teaching Points:
- Identify Where You Are Trusting Tradition Over God vv1-3
- Distinguish Human Rules from God’s Commands vv4-6
- Resolve to Give God More Than Lip Service vv7-9
