It's What's Inside That Counts

Matthew 5:20-22
As we continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount, and the title of the message today, "It's What's Inside That Counts".

The Pharisees were past masters at this. Outwardly, oh they looked so good. But Jesus said, on the inside, you are a dead, putrefying, spiritual corpse. Begin to read here in Matthew chapter five and verse twenty. Jesus said "For I say unto you, except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the Scribes and the Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Now I've tried to think now what a church full of Scribes and Pharisees would be like. Well, number one Bro. Dan they'd be here every Sunday. Number two, they'd be on time. Number three, they'd all be carrying Bibles. Number four, they'd all be tithing. Number five, they'd never curse or swear or drink or get drunk or commit adultery. Number six, they'd all ...
