This sermon, drawing on Jesus' denunciation of hypocrisy in Matthew 23, reveals the dangerous implications of pretense and the importance of authenticity. The nature of sin is examined through James 1, illustrating its progression from temptation to spiritual death. Throughout this sermon, we encourage you, the listener to examine your own life for signs of hypocrisy and to strive for a transparent and sincere faith that reflects the teachings of Christ. Through this introspective and transformative journey, we invite you to embrace a life marked by true faithfulness and to contribute to building an egalitarian community under one Teacher and Father. Finally, the sermon also reflects on the metaphor of a hen gathering her chicks, representing Jesus' protective and redemptive love for humanity despite its failings.
