In this message, Pastor Brandon breaks down Jesus’ powerful teaching in Matthew 6:1–18 — exposing the difference between doing the right thing for the wrong reason and living for the audience of One. Jesus warned that even good spiritual disciplines — giving, praying, and fasting — can be corrupted by pride when our goal is to be seen by men. The question isn’t just what we do for God… it’s why we do it. When you give in secret, pray sincerely, and fast privately, Jesus promises that “your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.”It’s not about religious performance — it’s about pure motives, private devotion, and eternal reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:10). Discover how to:✅ Guard your heart from hypocrisy✅ Develop a private devotional life that pleases God✅ Trade human applause for heavenly reward 📖 Key Passage: Matthew 6:1–18💡 Main Truth: True righteousness seeks God’s approval, not man’s praise.🔥 Application: What you do in secret matters more than what you show in public.
