How do you know that you're a Christian? This is a simple but relevant question, because Scripture is clear that it's possible (even common) for people to be deceived about their relationship with God--particulaly "religious" people with a background in church. And this is who the Apostle Paul addresses in our passage this Sunday. We'll see the reality of false assurance and the defining factor of true salvatoin in Christ. It's a matter of the heart.
In our passage this Sunday, we see a beautiful picture of the best of the church and a vivid picture of the worst of the church. Bro. Daniel will teach on how we're to bring our sin into the light and serve one another generously.
Is your heart really in it? That's what this Sunday is all about. It's so easy for us to just go through the motions in our spiritual lives! This week we have the privilege to sit under our brother Daniel Mboweni's preaching. He will show us from Matthew 15 the eternal importance of devoting not just our religious habits, but our hearts to the Lord.
Have you ever said something you wish you could take back? As the opposition to Christ and his kingdom continues in Part 3 of Matthew, Jesus' response to the Pharisees reveals a timeless principle about the connection between our words and our hearts.
