How often are we tempted to look spiritually healthy instead of actually becoming healthy? In Matthew 23:5–12, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for living out their faith to be seen by others—and invites us to examine our own hearts. This message exposes the danger of religious performance and offers three life-giving remedies: private devotion, servant-hearted leadership, and honest confession. Rather than chasing approval or managing appearances, Jesus calls us into an integrated life where who we are in private matches who we are in public. This sermon helps us trade spiritual pretending for humility, integrity, and the freedom that comes from grace.
