Withered Hands and Wounded Egos: Pharisees vs. Jesus

C-Dub and Bones explore Jesus' controversial healings on the Sabbath and how religious leaders were more concerned with preserving tradition than celebrating restoration. Through examining scripture passages in Luke 6 and Luke 13, they uncover powerful insights about how modern churches can similarly prioritize rules over relationship.

• Jesus healed a man with a withered hand on the Sabbath, triggering outrage from religious leaders
• The withered right hand symbolizes how churches can lose their power and authority
• Religious systems often become more focused on methods than purpose
• We easily become indifferent or jealous when hearing testimonies of God's work in others' lives
• Churches enthusiastically pray for revival but may resist it when it arrives outside their control
• Fear of losing influence drives much religious opposition to God's unexpected movements
• We need to crucify our flesh daily, including our desire for control and recognition
