Temple Tantrums (At His Word - Week 13)

In Matthew 12:1–21, Jesus confronts a kind of religion that had become more concerned with rules than with the heart of God. While the Pharisees used the Sabbath to place burdens on others, Jesus revealed that God's desire has always been to bring mercy, life, and rest. This week's discussion invites us to examine where legalism can quietly take root in our own hearts and to consider what it looks like to reflect the grace, truth, and compassion of Christ in our everyday lives.
