We all know that some poor choices we make can leave a bigger mark than others. Hypocrisy- saying one thing while doing another- is a prime example of this. Whether it’s obvious or hidden, Jesus says hypocrisy is incredibly destructive. It damages relationships, ruins reputations, and hinders the work that God wants to do. Today, Pastor Terry looks at God’s response to the hypocrisy that started t...

Whether we care to admit it or not, many of us have a tendency to let our doubts and uncertainties get the better of us.
