What does Jesus say about giving, generosity, and our motives? In this message from Matthew 6:1–4, we explore Jesus’ warning against performative faith—doing good deeds to be seen by others rather than for the glory of God.

As we continue our A Different Way series through the Sermon on the Mount, this teaching challenges us to examine the “why” behind our obedience. Jesus shows that it’s possible to practice righteousness outwardly while missing God inwardly. Instead, He calls His followers to quiet, sincere generosity—living for the approval of the Father who sees in secret.

If you’ve ever wrestled with needing recognition, approval, or validation, this message will help reorient your heart toward true devotion and lasting reward in God’s kingdom.
