Jesus and the Pharisees (Hilary Dalziel)

About this episode

Hilary Dalziel discusses Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees in Luke 11, focusing on themes of hypocrisy and the need for inner transformation.

In this message, Hilary tackles Jesus' confrontation with the Pharisees in Luke 11, where he exposes their hypocrisy—clean on the outside but filthy within, focused on outward rules whilst neglecting the condition of their hearts. With grace and truth, Jesus challenges them directly, not to condemn but to set them free, and warns his disciples (and us) that the same seeds of hypocrisy can creep into our own hearts if we're not careful. As you listen, ask yourself: How does my Monday life compare to my Sunday life, and am I willing to let Jesus expose what's hidden in my heart so that I can experience his forgiveness, grace, and transformation?
