Heart Over Image | Matthew 23:5 | Living for God, Not Applause

In Matthew 23:5, Jesus confronts performative faith. The Pharisees turned symbols of obedience into tools for attention, choosing appearance over alignment. This message challenges men to examine whether their faith is shaped by surrender—or by the need to be seen. God isn’t impressed by image; He looks at the heart.

Reflection:
Where has my faith become more visible than surrendered?

Challenge:
Practice one act of obedience today that only God will see.
