Scribes, Pharisees, Hypocrites: Sermon on the Mount with Sinclair Ferguson

Summary

This sermon focuses on the Sermon on the Mount, particularly Matthew chapters 5 and 6, highlighting the "fulfillment" of Old Testament hopes in Christ and His disciples. Key themes include righteousness, the hypocrisy of outward religious displays versus inner discipleship, and Jesus' teachings on giving, prayer, and fasting as contrasted with the practices of the Pharisees. The practical takeaway is to examine our motivations in religious practices, seeking genuine obedience to God rather than mere human approval.
