For this Sunday afternoon service we have the opportunity to explore another common argument our society has against the Christian faith – and one that is not without merit, with many Christians, including some key leaders having succumbed to this type of behaviour and characteristic. What behaviour is it? The sin of hypocrisy. Or, in colloquial terms, being “two-faced” or “fake”. Publicly appearing and declaring to be something that does not match up with someone’s private life. Does the fact that Christians sometimes still act hypocritically nullify the Christian faith? To answer this question we’ll be turning to the words of the central figure of the Christian faith – to Jesus Christ himself. By doing so, we not only see how fiercely he spoke against this terrible human trait. But we also see what he did to overcome it through the Gospel.
