Welcome to Eastern Hills Baptist Church
We are so glad that you decided to join us in worship today. Here at Eastern Hills we realize that we are all in different places on our journey with Christ, and that's okay. Whether you are a seeker, looking for answers, or a long-time follower of Christ, you are welcome here.

TODAY'S POINTS:

1: Lying TO God

2: Shying away FROM God

3: Testifying ABOUT God

Hypocrisy:
Simulation; a feigning to be what one is not; or dissimulation, a concealment of one's real character or motives. More generally, hypocrisy is simulation, or the assuming of a false appearance of virtue or religion; a deceitful show of a good character, in morals or religion; a counterfeiting of religion. (Webster’s 1828 Dictionary)

Rejection of the Spirit’s work renders faith impossible and salvation unattainable.

—Robert H. Stein, New American Commentary Series, Volume 24: Luke

One thing is clear. Anyone concerned about this sin has nothing to fear, for such a concern witnesses to a sensitivity and openness to the Spirit’s work, which those who have sinned in this way do not possess.

—Robert H. Stein, New American Commentary Series, Volume 24: Luke

Discuss these questions this week:

— What is one area of your life that you are consistently a hypocrite in?
— How does it feel to know that God knows EVERYTHING that you do, say, and think?
— Can you think of someone who has positively acknowledged their faith openly? What impact did that have on you?
