Romans 2:17-24

In this sermon on Romans 2:17–24, Pastor Blaine confronts the danger of religious hypocrisy. Paul warns that the Jews relied on their identity, knowledge of the law, and proximity to God while failing to live consistently with His commands—boasting in God but dishonoring Him through disobedience. The message highlights that hypocrisy is not only universal in our daily sins but also uniquely dangerous for those with greater knowledge of God’s Word, since their failures bring reproach on Christ’s name. Blaine calls Christians to examine their lives, repent of duplicity, and pursue integrity, reminding us that the world—and more importantly, God Himself—is watching. True freedom comes not from hiding sin but from repentance, transparency, and living faithfully in light of God’s holiness.
