What happens when you take your faith apart to see what is true and what is just tradition? This message walks through Matthew 23:1-39 and names four common drivers of deconstruction today: participant overwhelming, prideful orthodoxy, perverse obstinacy, and political obeisance. Along the way we talk about burnout in ministry, misplaced loyalty to leaders, the pain of institutional failure, and the pull of partisanship that crowds out simple discipleship. Most of all, we point to Jesus who confronts hypocrisy and still longs to gather us under his wings.
You will hear a vivid camel illustration, real trends many are facing, and straight talk on why tearing down without rebuilding leaves people bitter instead of Christlike. The aim is not to shame questions but to model how to rebuild with humility, Scripture, and the heart of Jesus.
Key texts: Matthew 23, Galatians 6:9, Acts 17:11, John 11:48, Matthew 24:1-2, Luke 21:20-24, 1 Samuel 15:23, Ezekiel 14:4, Colossians 3:5.
