In Matthew 23:1–12, Jesus warns His disciples and the crowds about the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, calling attention to leaders who preach rightly but fail to practice what they teach, burden others, and seek status over service. This sermon challenges us to examine our own hearts for signs of hypocrisy and points us to the remedy Jesus offers: humble, sacrificial service. By following His example, we learn that true greatness is not found in recognition or position, but in serving others with humility.
