    Do we let our good deeds shine out or do we do them in secret? Is Jesus talking out of both sides of His mouth here?

    Wednesday of 11th Week in Course 2019 A priest I know preached recently on this passage from St. Matthew’s Gospel and pointed out that this part of the Sermon on the Mount appears to contradict the earlier passage that tells us not to hide the good that we do under a basket.

    This is Part 11 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus in what is familiarly known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” In this part Jesus tells his audience 3 things not to do for the sake of being seen. This teaching includes a model for prayer.

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on May 18, 2020
     | 3,827 views

    The rewards of serving God are a righteous life with him. God rewards prayer, giving, and seeking him (fasting). Seeking rewards without seeking God misses God's best.

    But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.

     | 2,734 views

    "Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness." In this New Year, let's make this our motivation or "driving purpose." The information our Lord shared is just as good today as it was when He walked this earth.

    Fasting Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jun 22, 2022
     | 2,448 views

    This sermon addresses the reality that Jesus fasted so we should fast. Jesus understood the importance of fasting when it came to spiritual warfare, and he also understood the importance of fasting when it came to intimacy with God. It is a spiritual practice that still has validity for today.

     | 2,171 views

    In this message we will examine what Jesus said about fasting. While it is common for people to say they are fasting from watrching TV, playing video games, etc, this is not scripturally an accurate protrayal of what fasting truly is and the power that comes through it when combined with prayer.

    Living in the Kingdom 15 Scripture: Matthew 6:16-18; 17:14-21; Isaiah 58:2-6; Psalms 35:13 This is a continuation of my series, “Living in the Kingdom.” This morning we will examine what Jesus says about fasting and riches in His Sermon on the Mount.

Today is our 11th Sunday on this book. • I believe by now we have an idea of the problems the church in Corinth is facing. • Surely this is not a happy thing for Paul, who ...read more

    The ultimate goal of most people in the world is to see God. What does it take?

    Matthew 5:8 is one of the most astounding statements in the word of God. You and I may stand and look at the same object and see different things. The eye sees what it is trained to see.
