Tune in as Pastor Josh preaches from Revelation 3, To the Church in Sardis:
“Jesus will never be satisfied with an outward show; superficial airs of pretended godliness. This was exactly what Jesus condemned in the Pharisees! We often misunderstand Jesus’ harsh rebukes for religious leaders and the Pharisees throughout the gospels thinking that Jesus calls them out for being legalists or religious in some negative sense. What Jesus primarily and specifically warns them and the crowds about was their contentment with fostering a reputation for outward devotion to God while their hearts were actually far from him…”
