Victory. Thank you so much for joining us on today's edition of Pathway to Victory. Before we began

today's program, I wanted to say a word about the recent election.

In 1 Timothy 2, Paul said we should pray that government would basically protect us and

then leave us alone to practice our faith.

And I think the election has ensured that's going to happen for the next four years.

I've known President Trump for almost 10 years, and I know religious freedom is a very

real priority with him. But we need to remember that it is not government's responsibility to share

the gospel of Jesus Christ. That's our responsibility. And one we need to take advantage of while

there's still time. The only way we're going to change America is by changing the hearts of Americans,

and that's only possible through the power of Jesus Christ.

So thank you for supporting pathway to victory generously in this important time but limited time of religious liberty,

so together we can pierce the

darkness with the light of God's word. On today's edition, A Pathway to Victory,

today we're going to look at how Jesus dealt with the Pharisees. And as we do, we're going to

discover how to deal with legalism that people try to impose on our life as well.

If you have your Bibles, turn to Luke Chapter 5 to see how Jesus dealt with the party poopers of his day.
