Avoiding Pharisaism, Matthew 23

Labeling is a common practice in our world.  Unfortunately, people sometimes react in a negative way when presented with Biblical truth by throwing out the label (or perhaps more accurately the accusation) of Pharisee!  We might be labeled as modern day Pharisees because we simply trust in the Word of God, hold to it's standard, and encourage others to do the same. Is that a truly accurate label?  Were the Pharisees rebuked by Jesus for simply doing those things we strive to do?  This study seeks to answer that question and then teaches us how to avoid Pharisaism at all cost.
