Welcome to another episode of Beholding Bible Truth, where we continue in the Book of Matthew. Today's discussion focuses on the issue of performing acts of righteousness for public display, drawing insightful parallels to hypocrisy, legalism, and seeking special honor. Scott also talks about why it's important to seek recognition from God rather than from men and the value of serving Jesus Christ with a sincere heart.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Jesus encounters crowds and disciples and warns against hypocrisy
• Using the word of God to judge traditions
• Hypocrisy: saying but not doing, spiritual show-offs
• Understanding God's holiness and receiving ongoing forgiveness
• Love God, love neighbor, don't test God
• The importance of questioning spiritual symbols, titles, and deference
• Why the greatest is serving and sacrificing for others
• The Struggle for recognition and honor is universal
• Why you should make a priority to please God, not others.
• Encouragement to give and pray in secret
