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.
