Sermons About Hypocrisy
Religious Hypocrisy
In Matthew Jesus talks strongly to the Pharisees about their lives of hypocrisy. While we cannot live perfect lives, as Christians we should strive to live lives of integrity. We need to move from two-faced living to true-faced living.

Being A Real Christian
Jesus spoke His harshest rebukes to the religious people of His day who didn't practice true spirituality. They made a mockery of godly living by their hypocrisy. So, how can we avoid hypocrisy and attain true holiness for God? All of us need to take stock of our lives and see if there is any hypocrisy in us. Then, we need to take three actions to help us move away from hypocrisy and move toward a growing spiritual life in Jesus Christ.

Kingdom Credibility: Giving (AM)
Adam preaches Matt. 6:2-4. Christ continues to warn about hypocrisy in worship by illustrating several common areas of high risk. Giving must be done, yet it must be done without the slightest hint of self-promotion.

The Consequences of False Spirituality
Luke 21:5-24 In the longer context (21:5-38) Jesus uses the destruction of Jerusalem (near future) as a preview of what to expect when He returns (far future). He shocks his disciples with a prophetic announcement that one day the Temple will be destroyed, demonstrating the perils of that hypocritical spirituality for which the Temple had become symbol. But this is only the prelude to what the final judgment will mean for all who refuse to follow the widow’s model of humble dependence upon God.

Getting To The Heart Of Hypocrisy
The word hypocrisy actually means "play-acting". We all are vulnerable to this. But what is the sin beneath hypocrisy? The answer is "dishonesty". One of the biggest accusations against Christians is that they are hypocrites. And of course that is correct. We are hypocrites. However, it is seldom pointed out that this is why we are Christians in the first place. We need Christ as our Savior. Without Christ we are all condemned to an inconsistency between word and deed. Christ is the only one who lived a perfect and consistent life.

Kingdom Credibility (AM)
Adam preaches Matt. 6:1. The Kingdom is a lifestyle generated by a transformed heart, not some sort of church-ianity. Christ powerfully warns about a typical setting, a temporal motive, and a tragic result of religious hypocrisy.

Games People Play
Sometimes, people's lives aren't what they seem. The Bible word for it is hypocrisy. Today Jesus makes the same challenge to us because we struggle with the same temptations to play religious games. Today, we'll take a look at three problem areas--three hypocritical games we often play that stand in our way of becoming what God wants us to be, and we'll look at how to squash out some areas of hypocrisy in our lives.

Judging Others
"Judge not..." was a command given by Jesus to each and every Christian in regards to the way they view other people. At the heart of Jesus's command was something far deeper than simply making external changes in the way we view or treat others. We find Jesus consistently wants us to look inward to see where the problem really lies. This week we examine an often-quoted passage of Scripture that is sure to devastate egos and self-views, yet provides the only solution available for addressing our hypocrisy in the Gospel.

Analyzing Authenticity (Romans 2:17-29)
Paul challenges his readers not to base our confidence before God in our religious pedigree, family history, bible knowledge, Christian education, or any other experience or practice. There are many good things we ought to pursue, but there is a danger in craving man's approval rather than God's, and none of these things will secure our standing before God. Our only hope is the gospel, pleading for mercy rather than justice, and trusting in Christ's dying for sinners. Once we have trusted, we are freed to do good works rightly -- not so that we can be saved, but out of love and gratitude, as an overflow of our changed hearts. The essence of a true Christian is a changed heart.

Authenticity and Humility
Can you imagine sitting down to dinner with someone you know will betray you within a couple of days? Jesus has just washed the feet of the disciples and now sits down to confront his betrayers. We examine the betrayal of Peter and Judas, how Christ responded to them, and what we can learn from their lives.

Soul Prosperity
We need to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy on the inside all the time, not just cry out to God for it when we are in a crisis. Our soul is prospering when we are walking in step with Holy Spirit.

You Hypocrite
As Paul confronts Peter's hypocrisy at Antioch Pastor Jeremy answers the objection raised by many unbelievers that the church is full of hypocrites. While that may be true Pastor Lundmark suggests that all men are hypocrites but at least in the church we have a Remedy for Hypocrisy. Pastor Lundmark explains how true Christians who practice repentance cease to be hypocrites and become perfectly consistent with there own worldview.

What Binds You?
Luke 13:10-17 Jesus miraculously frees a woman bound by sickness despite the angry and hypocritical opposition of a synagogue official. In loosening her bonds he demonstrates himself to be the glorious one and ensures that there will be a reckoning for hypocrites who place their religiousity over untying people in bondage. What binds you? Are you bound by sin and pain from your past or are you bound the hypocrisy of your present? Hear this message today: Jesus offers freedom.

Hypocrisy and Legalism: Death Masquerading as Life
Luke 11:37-12:3 In this text, Jesus confronts the Pharisees and Scribes who had substituted a man-made system for heartfelt love and pursuit of God. Built on hypocrisy, legalism claims to offer life, but in reality, it leads only to death.

HYPOCRITE
Hypocrisy is not new. Jesus confronted hypocrisy but majored on the majors. What does it look like to follow His lead? How do we confront the hypocrite? CAREFRONTING must be done with caution, restoration as the goal, & commitment to the other person. Seeing our own hypocrisy begins with honesty and moves to confession with God.

Galatians 2.11-14
Paul challenges Peter to behave like he says he believes. Specifically, Paul calls out the leader of the church and challenges him in his hypocrisy. Instead of telling him to stop sinning or "be happy" God love you, he tells him to align his life with the gospel.

Where is God When I am a Hypocrite?
Where is God when I am a hypocrite? You may attend weekly worship at Maple City, enjoy the arts and expression of music, pray and do acts of service but secretly find yourself to be an actor (hypocrite) when it comes to walking in true Christ centered, God honoring obedience to Jesus Christ. You may have others fooled but you can't deny what you see in the mirror. Am I being hypocritical? Being truthful with ourselves about our lives. Is there a gap between what we believe and what we are doing?
