  • The Seven Woes of Summer: The Danger of Majoring on the Minors | Matthew 23:23–24

    The Seven Woes of Summer: The Danger of Majoring on the Minors | Matthew 23:23–24
    2026/07/28

    Main Text: Matthew 23:23–24 (ESV) 23 “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. 24You blind guides, straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel!

    Preaching Point: Knowing what God values most should lead us to prioritize the weightier matters of Scripture without neglecting the rest.

    Teaching Points:

    1. Distinguish the Majors from the Minors (v. 23a)
    2. Pursue Faithfulness in Everything (v. 23b)
    3. Recognize the Folly of Majoring on Minors (v. 24)

    Application Questions:

    1. Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week’s sermon. Why did it stand out to you?
    2. Read Matthew 23:23 and Hosea 6:6. How can you grow in your ability to distinguish between the weightier things of God’s Word and the lighter matters of God’s Word?
    3. What dangers arise when Christians fail to distinguish between the weightier and lighter matters of Scripture?
    4. Why is growing in this kind of spiritual discernment so necessary?
    5. Read Matthew 23:23b (starting with the word “these”) and Matthew 5:19. What balance does Jesus expect you to maintain between the weightier matters of Scripture and the rest of God's commands?
    6. What does pursuing faithfulness in everything while distinguishing between the weightier matters and lighter matters of scripture look like at church, at work and at home?
    7. Read Amos 5:21–24. Why did God reject Israel's worship? How can you be guilty of obeying some of God’s commands, while ignoring some of the weightier commands of God throughout the week?
    8. Read Matthew 23:24. If Jesus evaluated your life the way he evaluated the Scribes and Pharisees, where might he say you are "straining out a gnat while swallowing a camel"? (e.g., favorite theological topics, easier areas of obedience, hobby horses, current hot topics, etc.)?
    9. After identifying an area where you may be "majoring on the minors," write out a prayer of confession and repentance that reflects your desire to live according to God’s priorities.

    Main Text: Matthew 23:16–22 (ESV) 16 “Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’ 17 You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? 18 And you say, ‘If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.’ 19 You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? 20 So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. 21 And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it. 22 And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it.Preaching Point: Knowing that every word is spoken before God should remind us to reject all forms of deception and to speak with honesty, clarity, and integrity.Teaching Points:Know God Hears Every Word (vv. 21–22)Refuse to Employ Deception (vv. 16–20)Aim for Simple Honesty (vv. 20–22)Application Questions:Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week's sermon.

  • The Seven Woes of Summer: The Danger of False Teachers | Matthew 23:13–15

    The Seven Woes of Summer: The Danger of False Teachers | Matthew 23:13–15
    2026/07/14

    Main Text: Matthew 23:13–15 (ESV) 13 “But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. For you neither enter yourselves nor allow those who would enter to go in. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel across sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves.

    Preaching Point: Because false teachers zealously lead people away from Christ and toward judgment, we must reject their teaching and faithfully embrace the biblical gospel.

    Teaching Points:

    1. Guard Yourself from False Teachers (v. 13)
    2. Don’t Mistake Sincerity for Truth (v. 15a)
    3. Protect Others from False Teachers (v. 15b)

    Application Questions:

    1. Write down one observation or application you found helpful from this week’s sermon. Why did it stand out to you?
    2. Read John 14:6 and Galatians 1:6–9. What do these passages teach about why a message that distorts the gospel of Jesus is not simply another path to God but a false one that keeps people out of Heaven?
    3. Which false gospels are most common in our community, and why do you think people find them attractive?
    4. What Scriptures help you address the false gospels you mentioned above?
    5. Read Romans 10:1–3 and Acts 26:9–11. What are some of the dangers of zeal, sincerity, and religious devotion that are not guided by a biblical gospel?
    6. How can you keep yourself and help others from being misled about beliefs that might be held with sincerity or zeal, but are contrary to the gospel?
    7. Read Matthew 7:21–23 and 2 Peter 2:1–3. What do these passages teach about the danger of following, or becoming a teacher whose message is not rooted in the biblical gospel?
    8. Not every gospel distortion is immediately obvious. What are some subtle ways a person can drift away from the biblical gospel without immediately realizing it?
    9. Read Jude 3–4 and Jude 23. What responsibility do you have to protect others from false teaching?
    10. How can you improve your ability to help protect people from the pervasive problem of false teaching in our culture?
