Philippians 4:12-13 NIV
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry,
whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

Romans 6:11-12 NLT
So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus.
Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires.

Isaiah 29:13 NLT
And so the Lord says, “These people say they are mine. They honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
And their worship of me is nothing but man-made rules learned by rote.”

Matthew 23:13-15 NIV
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces.
You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You travel over land and sea to win a single convert,
and when you have succeeded, you make them twice as much a child of hell as you are.

Matthew 21:28-31 NLT
“But what do you think about this? A man with two sons told the older boy, ‘Son, go out and work in the vineyard today.’
The son answered, ‘No, I won’t go,’ but later he changed his mind and went anyway. Then the father told the other son, ‘You go,’ and he said, ‘Yes, sir, I will.’ But he didn’t go.
“Which of the two obeyed his father?” They replied, “The first.”
Then Jesus explained his meaning: “I tell you the truth, corrupt tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the Kingdom of God before you do.”

Hypocrites are all about ______________________, genuine Christians are about ____________________!

Matthew 6:5-6 NLT
“When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where
everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself,
shut the door behind you, and pray to your Father in private. Then your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.
