Matthew 5:23-26

What if the greatest danger to your soul isn’t rebellion—but delay? In Deceived by the Heart (Part 2), Jesus exposes how unresolved sin can interrupt worship now and lead to judgment later. Anchored in Matthew 5:20, this message shows why outward righteousness is not enough, why reconciliation is urgent, and why Jesus speaks with such intensity about courts, prison, and inescapable consequences. Hell is not a distant theory—it is a real possibility for the self-assured heart that postpones repentance. This sermon presses the weight of eternity and calls us to make peace now, while mercy is still on the way.
