Urgent - Authenticity

"Authenticity" - Matthew 23:1-7

This morning we’re starting a sermon series from Matthew 23 called “Urgent.” Jesus is teaching in the temple on Tuesday before His crucifixion on Friday. This is His last public sermon, and His words have a deep sense of urgency. Over the next few weeks, we will look at the message Jesus preached. What did he want the people who had gathered in the temple to hear? What does He want us to hear? As He begins His final sermon, Jesus urges us to live authentically - to make sure that our Monday living lines up with our Sunday talk. We learn from Jesus that authenticity is critical to living on mission.
