Sparkly Clean on the Outside; Rotten on the Inside

Luke 11:37-44

Sermon Notes:

Main Idea: Two approaches of true repentance that bring us cleansing before God. 

1. Seek Cleansing From the Inside Out (Luke 11:37-41) 

Key Questions 

• Is the relationship with God what satisfies me, or is it what God will reward us with that satisfies me?
• Is this about the way I feel about myself that is most important or the way I feel toward God?

2. See the danger of defiled practices (Luke 11:42-44)

• The danger of majoring on the minors 
  • Micah 6:8 
  • Zechariah 7:8-10 
• The danger of wanting the praise of men 
  • John 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease. 
• The Danger of Corrupting Influence

The Good News of the Gospel for Pharisees

• Hebrews 12:2 
• Psalms 51:9-10
• 1 John 1:7
