FENCES

In this enlightening sermon, we delve into Matthew 12:1-8, where Jesus confronts the Pharisees regarding Sabbath observance. Through the narrative of Jericho's walls falling on the seventh day, we explore the concept of fences—barriers we erect for protection but often inhibit healing. Drawing parallels between Pharisaical legalism and modern-day religious structures, we're challenged to dismantle these fences to foster a healthier, more inclusive church. Join us in understanding the true essence of Sabbath rest and God's call for mercy over sacrifice.
