Getting Real

Oct 24 2021 • Greg Boyd, Meghan Good, Osheta Moore

“You’re such a hypocrite!”

Few things frustrate us more than a person who is all show and no substance, and Jesus had quite a few things to say about the hypocrites of his day.

Jesus called the religious leaders hypocrites because they hid behind meaningless performances of self-righteousness. Their public displays of spirituality were really about judgment of others and approval for themselves, and not about the pursuit of an authentic relationship with God. In response, Jesus invited them to step out from behind their masks and get real before God.

Today, Jesus invites us to do the same, using the spiritual disciplines as tools toward heart change and authenticity. In this series we’ll see how disciplines like serving others and fasting enable us to get real before God.

What’s Your Story?

• Greg Boyd

In this introductory sermon to a new series on spiritual practices, Greg lays the foundation for why we embrace such practices by identifying narratives that undermine our adopting them, and proposing a biblical narrative that will naturally and organically compel us to make them part of our lives.
