DRESSED UP REBELLION // Matthew 15:1-20

About this episode

This episode explores the dangers of following spiritual leaders who prioritize tradition over genuine faith, as illustrated in Matthew 15.

Have you ever considered that the spiritual leadership you follow might be using religious traditions to mask a heart in full-blown rebellion against God? In this study of Matthew 15, Jesus exposes the toxic ambition of self-centered religious leaders, warning that these "blind guides" will inevitably poison others and lead their followers into a pit. Jesus urgently commands believers to leave these false teachers behind so you can cultivate a deeper, life-giving dependency on the simplicity of the Gospel.
