When Hypocrisy Makes You Doubt

“The single greatest cause of atheism in the world today is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, then deny Him by their lifestyle.” – Brennan Manning

Many people have walked away from church—or from God—because of Christian hypocrisy. Maybe you’ve felt that pull yourself. In Matthew 23, Jesus speaks His harshest words, not to outsiders, but to religious leaders who put image over integrity and rules over relationship.

In this week’s message in our What to Do with Doubt series, Pastor Steven Bruce unpacks:

• Why hypocrisy fuels disappointment, disillusionment, and doubt
• The difference between sinning and living as a hypocrite
• How to stay rooted in Christ when church leaders fail

Our faith isn’t built on Christians. It’s built on Christ.

📖 Key Text: Matthew 23:1-39
