Jesus talks about two kinds of treasures that we could store up: one that is temporal where rust and mold get to it, and one that is eternal. What's important is that where our treasure is, our heart is there also. 

The third core spiritual practice that Jesus talks about in chapter 6 and one that He expects His genuine disciples to have on their resume is fasting. Therefore we will take a deeper look at what biblical fasting is and three reasons why we should pursue it as a lifestyle. 

Jesus continues with the next challenge, namely, He expects His disciples to practice prayer as a lifestyle, and the kind of prayer that is in secret and not to be seen by others. The overarching reason is that we would pursue communing with God. 

We are starting chapter 6 with another challenge from Jesus. He is calling us to be generous givers just like our Father in heaven. 

As we continue with our series, Jesus finishes chapter 6 with probably the most challenging of commands, to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. 

How do you respond when you are wronged? Today's passage has to do with how we respond to being wronged or sinned against. Jesus takes the oldest law known to mankind, lex talionis, eye for an eye and tooth for a tooth, and elevates it to a seemingly impossible level. 

We live in a culture of compromise. Jesus in our passage today calls his people to lives of integrity, consistency, and truthfulness. One of the most powerful things we can do is simply to be true to our word

As we continue our series, today we are looking at Jesus' vision for our sexuality. We need to understand that sex is God-given and should therefore be God-governed. 

As we continue our series, Jesus is going to talk about the sin behind the sin of the 6th commandment, "You shall not murder." He is going to talk about anger, hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness, and the urgency of reconciliation. 

What does the Old Testament have to do with me? Have you ever asked yourself that question? The reality is that many Christians don't know what to do with the old covenant law. As we continue our series, Jesus is very clear on that answer.
