As we think about our lives and the things that we would like to improve, we over deal in the cosmetic realm of life. But there are times when we encounter deeper problems in our souls that reveal our helplessness and weakness. What do you do in these times? Do you cover up the problem through new behaviors and good deeds? Or do you bring these issues to the only one who can help you? In the sermon on the mount, Jesus shows us the difference between the false righteousness of hypocrisy and the spirituality of God's kingdom. In the context of externalism, Jesus teaches his follower that God is interested in the interior life of people. Listen in as we consider prayer as a means of cultivating spiritual growth.
