Matthew 22:15-33 (pt. 1)

In Matthew 22, the conflict between Jesus and the religious leaders continues to intensify.After Jesus exposes their rejection of God through a series of parables, the Pharisees change tactics. They send their disciples with the Herodians to trap Jesus with a politically charged question about paying taxes to Caesar.Their goal is not really to discover truth. They are trying to force Jesus into an answer that can be used against Him and turn the people away from Him.In this episode, Pastor Mike begins teaching through Matthew 22:15–33 and shows us how questions can be used, not to seek truth, but to manipulate and discredit.
