Mistaken

12/29/24 - Sunday AM Worship

This sermon examines Jesus’ warning about the doctrine of the Pharisees and Sadducees, highlighting their distinct errors. The Pharisees added to God’s Word through traditions, while the Sadducees subtracted from it, rejecting much of Scripture and denying the resurrection. Jesus rebuked the Sadducees for their ignorance of Scripture and the power of God, using Exodus 3:6 to demonstrate the necessity of resurrection. The sermon contrasts the Sadducees’ error with the Bereans’ noble example of daily Scripture study, emphasizing the importance of embracing the full counsel of God’s Word.

Key lessons include avoiding selective interpretations, seeking wisdom from all Scripture, and letting God’s Word guide us in truth and righteousness. This message encourages believers to remain grounded in the entirety of God’s revelation to combat disbelief and defend the faith effectively.
