Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

Yes, practice your good works not so that people will say what a glorious person you are but what a wonderful person God is for the glory of God.

If that is your motive, it's a good thing. But if you are practicing your worship, your righteous acts in order to be seen by other people, that's a bad thing.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

In his 33 years here on Earth, Jesus encountered a whole bunch of different people.

And do you know which ones bothered him the most? It wasn't the tax collectors, not the thieves or the adulterers. It was the religious phonies.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress explains why hypocrisy is such a serious offense to God.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message. Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to sit across the table from Jesus for a cup of coffee?

What do you think he might say to you? Would he get right to the point?

Well, those are questions that we're tackling in our teaching series called 18 Minutes with Jesus.

It's also the theme of a best-selling book I've written for you by the same title, 18 Minutes with Jesus.

Straight talk from the Savior about the things that matter most.

Without a doubt, I believe that Jesus would get straight to the point with you and me.

It likely addressed the issues that concern us, such as your fears about money, your endless pursuit of happiness, and your preoccupation perhaps with your enemies.

Well, in my book 18 Minutes with Jesus, I'll help you understand the value of Jesus' wisdom and how to apply what he said to your life right now.

I genuinely believe that this may be the most life-impacting book you'll read in 2023.

Not because this book is based on my words, but it's based on the life-giving words of Jesus.

To receive a copy of 18 Minutes with Jesus, just call or write or go online to ptv.org.

As a matter of fact, when you respond today, I'll also send you the companion study guide.
