Message: “The Dangers of Tradition & Hypocricy” from Pastor James Kirimi

In Week 5 of our series through The Book of Matthew, Pastor James Kirimi explores the tension between religious tradition and true transformation. In Matthew 15, Jesus confronts the Pharisees for elevating tradition above the commands of God. In Matthew 16, Peter receives revelation about who Jesus truly is. This message reminds us that while the law exposes sin, only grace and the revelation of Christ can transform the heart and produce true holiness rooted in love.
