Hypocrisy
Luke 12:1-3
Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees
12 In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops.
Sermon Notes
Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.

- What happens to things that are hid or covered according to Jesus? (Luke 12:2) What does this mean for us?
