- The Pharisees were top dogs in Jesus’ day. But Jesus had a way of showing them where their worship was off (How Do We Not Give Lip Service Worship?).
- The Pharisees were the ones who got the education of the day (Born for the Kingdom).
- The Pharisees were always looking for points to trip Jesus up to prove He wasn’t the Messiah (How Do We Keep the Sabbath Holy?).
- The Pharisees were more interested in catching Jesus than they were addressing the sin (The Lenient Judgment of Others).
- The Pharisees were good at “the letter of the law.” They were good at the religion (Is the Old or New Covenant Better?).
- Jesus said the Pharisees were putting human traditions over God’s laws (How Do We Not Give Lip Service Worship?).
- No, Jesus didn’t condone the religion of the Pharisees. He did not, however, shut down going to the synagogue (How Do We Worship through Praise?).
- Jesus was all about two things: relationship and character. He wasn’t about the Pharisees and their brand of religion (Disciples and Charitableness).
- Jesus and the Pharisees were not on the same page. The Pharisees were about religion. Jesus was about salvation (Who Should Be the Poster Child for Today’s Troubles).
- The Pharisees were deluding themselves into thinking they were living the way God wanted them to live. They weren’t. Worse yet, they were leading others astray (How Do We Not Give Lip Service Worship?).
