Converting the Church: Shutting Doors in People's Faces - Ralph Castillo

This Sunday, guest Pastor Ralph Castillo delved Jesus' first of the
seven woes to the Pharisees, that they shut the door of the Kingdom
in people's faces through their hypocratic practices and selfish
stewardship of the ways to connect to God. Jesus came to be the
true door to the Kingdom of Heaven, and like the Pharisees, it
seems the modern day church has similarly gotten in the way of
people coming to Him. This woe calls us to remember God's desire to
gather us to Himself, repent of our stubborness, and instead become
a pleasing aroma that points people to the satisfying substance of
Christ.
