1. Why do we need more righteousness than the Pharisees? We need more righteousness than the Pharisees and the Scribes because they were knowers and doers of the law and relied on what they know as the path righteousness, instead of accepting the righteousness that is offered through Jesus Christ.

Yes they trusted in themselves rather than in Jesus Christ.

5) What message did you take away from this sermon?

The message I took away from this sermon is that we are all sinners and fall short of the glory of God. However, we don't need to continue on a sinful path but stop and ask for forgiveness and change path. Jesus Christ says, he did not come to save the righteous but to call sinners unto to repentance. Not to judge anyone but there are a lot of Christians who believe and trust in themselves and will be the first to say, they keep the Sabbath, give tithes, fast and pray, help the poor, etc. This leads me to think of the story of the Rich Young Ruler who asked Christ what he should do to get to heaven and surely he was not happy with the answer given to him. So my take away from the sermon is that righteousness is not something that we work for but rather to ask God to make us righteous through trusting and having faith in Christ.

Yes that trust in Christ unlocks His storehouse. He is the one that covers us with His righteousness and He is able to transform our lives.
