Pastor Rashad Clemons introduces the new series.
Jesus could not have used a more incendiary word. It was a highly offensive word. In fact, there’s not even a word like it in the Hebrew or Aramaic languages. It was a term that referred to play actors in the Greek theater. To the Jews, professional actors were the bottom of the sinner barrel. Jesus was calling them “play actors” in a theater that was so evil they would never even set foot in it! 
Jesus gave His toughest criticism to those inside of the church. This series will take a deep look at the cautions Jesus gave to those followers who were becoming barriers to people experiencing the love and grace of God. We will look at how we can be an authentic reflection of God’s heart to our world.
