Preacher: Jeremy Herbert

Text: Luke 19:28-40, Luke 12:1-3

Theme: The Enemy of True Discipleship

Notes:

1. Hypocrisy is the enemy of true discipleship
   • Christ warned His own disciples about this
   • What distinguishes hypocrisy from periodic sin/ inconsistency?
     • When I begin to be okay with the sin
2. Hypocrisy will be exposed
   • Hidden sin doesn’t stay hidden forever
   • It may stay hidden even for this earthly life–but still not forever
   • Luke 11:37-54
   • Signs of Hypocrisy
     • Outward motions of religion, but no inward relationship
     • Looking good, vs being godly
     • Being OK with hidden sin
     • Expecting much of others but expecting little from ourselves
     • Expecting much of others but not investing in others
     • Matthew 15:7-9
3. Hypocrisy erodes genuine worship and joy

What Is The Antidote to Hypocrisy?

1. Abide in Christ
   • John 15:1-11
     • Truth, Love, Joy, and Fruit
