Jesus is invited to a Pharisee's home for a meal and doesn't follow all of the rituals they follow. He uses this as an opportunity to outline the difference between external religion and internal heart transformation. The hope of the gospel runs deeper into our souls than any behavior modification ever can.

1. What are ways that your walk with Christ is too shallow, aiming to change external behaviors rather than the heart?
2. How does a life aimed from the inside out bring wisdom?
3. What kind of humility results from the gospel touching down in the depths of your heart?
4. How do pride and insecurity feed each other? And how does the gospel free you?
5. Are you seeking your own glory or Christ's?
