Steve Cree spoke to us from Matthew 6:1-18. No-one slammed hypocrisy, religious pride, and ‘keeping up appearances’ more than Jesus. But perhaps the person asking the question “why are Christians such hypocrites?” also has a pride problem (“they’re no better than me!” or “I’m better than them!”). When we really understand Jesus’ call to the heart we stop comparing ourselves to others… we become humble people who certainly dare not look down on anyone but only look up to the cross of Jesus to be accepted by God as hopeless sinners.

Thanks for another great talk Steve. It was encouraging to see in the video clip at church that some non-Christians at least acknowledge that none of us live up to our own standards. It is also very comforting that God has made a way for sinners like us to be right with him.
