Daniel Houck Preaching Podcast Daniel W. Houck

We don’t like hearing bad news about ourselves. It’s human nature to shoot the messenger. And yet God has given his people prophets to bring the word calling them back to him. Jesus rebukes the Pharisees and teachers of the law for rejecting the ultimate prophet: Jesus himself. In this rebuke, we are warned to have the humility to accept a prophetic word ourselves.

We tend to be tempted by either shamelessness (refusing to admit when we’re wrong) or shame-filled, thinking our sin and wrongdoing have put us too far from God. In this sermon on Matthew 23:25–28, Daniel Houck discusses Jesus teaching on purity and the right response to shame: looking to Jesus and Jesus alone for cleansing. In Him, we can live unashamed: not because we are perfect in ourselves, but because he shares his perfection with us.

In this second sermon on Matthew 23:23–24, Daniel Houck discusses why following Christ isn’t reducible to filling a spiritual checklist of tithing, praying, and so on. Jesus commended the Pharisees to the extent they did these things, but challenged them—and us—to make a sacrifice of their entire life.

In this sermon on Matthew 23:23–24, Daniel Houck discusses part of Jesus’ fourth warning to the Pharisees. They neglected the weightier matters of the law, but they did not fail to tithe, even on spices that weren’t technically mentioned in the law. If we refuse to tithe—to give a tenth of our income to God—how are we any better than the Pharisees?

In this sermon on Colossians 1:15–20, Daniel Houck discusses the purpose of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. 

Jesus says to do everything the Pharisees say, without doing what they do. What lessons does this have for how Christians should view pastoral leadership today?
