Matthew 23:5

Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg delves into the Book of Matthew, chapter 23, verse 5. He begins by highlighting the difference between what God requires and what man imposes on others. He stresses that the essence of Christianity lies in loving God and one's neighbors and that good works should be done for the sake of glorifying God and not for gaining recognition or seeking praise from others. Using examples, Steve emphasizes the importance of acting with sincerity and avoiding hypocrisy in our everyday lives.
