New Bridge Church - Pastors Jeff Lyle & Dustin Pennington

There are few passages of Scripture that are so packed tightly together in order to drive home a point than the verses covered in this message. The point is this: Jesus is completely different than human religion. The Holy Spirit utilizes less than 25 consecutive verses in Matthew’s Gospel to remove all doubt from our minds that Jesus offers something far superior than the rules and regulations of human religion. We will see how Jesus is open while religion is closed. We will be convinced that religion focuses on the outward while Jesus goes after the inward. Finally, we will see the difference between Jesus freeing people and religion enslaving people. This is a message all Christians need to hear and understand.
