Is it possible to think we’re honoring God while actually resisting him? In Matthew 23:29–39, Jesus delivers a sobering warning to religious leaders who believed they were faithful—but were blind to their own hypocrisy. His lament over Jerusalem reveals both the danger of spiritual pride and the depth of his compassion. In this message, Tom Vang helps us examine our own hearts. Where might we be defending traditions, protecting comfort, or resisting correction instead of surrendering to Christ? This sermon invites us to move beyond outward religion and respond to Jesus with humility, repentance, and a willingness to be gathered under his grace.
