Vain Worship Matthew 15:1-9 Traditions supplanted the commandment of God Nullifying God’s law Jesus’ reply shows where man’s commitment must be But He answered and said, “Every plant which My heavenly Father has not planted will be uprooted. “Let them alone. They are blind leaders of the blind…..” Matthew 15:13-14

Acts of Worship Singing Has a dual purpose of praising God and exhorting others Colossians 3:16 Ephesians 5:19 From our heart to our Father Teach and admonish one another Hearts more important than voices
