Pastor Rob Davis: Matt. 23:1-12

In Matthew 23:1-12 we see Jesus contrasting two types of spiritual leaders.

1. False spiritual leaders will:
   1. Claim their own authority (vv. 1, 2).
   2. Ignore their own teaching (v. 3).
   3. Lack compassion for those they teach (v. 4).
   4. Seek praise from men (vv. 5-7).
2. True spiritual leaders will:
   1. Humbly point to Christ in their work, not to themselves (vv. 8-10).
   2. Humbly serve others, waiting for God’s exaltation (vv. 11, 12).
