Today's sermon examines Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 regarding the danger of practicing righteousness for human approval rather than divine glory. It contrasts the ostentatious and hypocritical giving of the Pharisees with the sincere, secret acts of piety that God alone sees and rewards. Pastor Jason emphasizes that true Christian righteousness penetrates to the heart and motives, rejecting any desire for public acclaim or self-deception. By analyzing specific examples like almsgiving, prayer, and fasting, the message warns against seeking a full reward in this life through performative religion. Ultimately, it calls believers to examine their own hearts and pursue a purity of devotion that honors God above all else.
