Sermons on Tradition
Woe to You!: Words We Don’t Want to Hear
Luke 11:37-54 Jesus confronts the Pharisees and experts in the law of God with a series of curses. Moralism can’t save, and Jesus shows that as He confronts these false teachers.
Lord of the Sabbath
Luke 6:1-11. The rules and regulations of the Pharisees for proper observance of the Sabbath were burdensome to Jews, and only a self-righteous man could not see the impossibility of actually keeping each detail. Jesus uses the Sabbath to teach that God is concerned with the heart, not the externals of a man.
The Danger in Tradition
Matthew 15:1-20. Tradition is not always a bad thing, but sometime we like to elevate tradition to an unhealthy place of authority.
