If you love Scripture, value spiritual habits, and want a solid “rule of life,” Matthew 23 starts with both affirmation and a sober warning. In Matthew 23:1–4, Jesus speaks to the crowds and his disciples and exposes what happens when faithful people drift: traditions start to feel like Bible commands, public spirituality replaces integrity, and we quietly add burdens God never asked anyone to carry. In this message, Pastor Henry Williams walks through three warnings to committed disciples—let Scripture set the standard, practice what you preach, and lay down human-made loads to embrace God’s priorities. Come ready to be encouraged—and recalibrated.
