Pastors John Mury and Taylor Burgoyne discuss Luke 11:42-54: "Perhaps one of the greatest challenges Jesus had with the religious leaders who opposed him was how they had twisted God's Law into an excuse to condemn rather than love others. They were engaged in a culture war and anyone who didn't fall in line was an enemy to be judged and punished. Are we so different? Does our version of faith provide us with reasons to judge and condemn like the Pharisees, or does our faith compel us to love in costly ways like Jesus?"
