07 Matthew 15:1-20 -- The Problem Of The Heart

Sermons from Seven Mile Road Church in Waltham

In this sermon, Pastor Clint looks at Matthew 15:1-20 as we continue to paint a portrait of Jesus. In this chapter, Pharisees and Scribes confront Jesus with an accusation veiled as a question. They accuse him and his disciples of being defiled because they break with the tradition of the elders. Jesus calls out their spiritual misdiagnosis as superficial and hypocritical. Then, he teaches on true defilement and speaks to the problem of the heart. Listen and be challenged as we consider how God changes us from the inside out.
