“Woe, Woe, Woe” - Luke 11:37-53 - Feb 8th, 2026 - Pastor Scotty Brown

In this study of Luke 11, Pastor Scotty Brown examines a dinner invitation that turns into a scathing confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders. While the Pharisees focused on external rituals like ceremonial washing, Jesus exposed their hearts full of greed and wickedness. This message details the specific "woes" pronounced against them for their hypocrisy, spiritual pride, and for burdening others while neglecting justice and the love of God. Ultimately, it serves as a warning against religious performance that lacks a genuine relationship with Christ.
