Sermon on the Mount: Are You Dancing With Hypocrisy? - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 03 10 24

New Life of Asheville Messages

As we step into chapter 6, Jesus is going to shift into some practical instruction surrounding 3 core spiritual disciplines: giving, prayer, and fasting. The primary focus here is on taking off our spiritual masks and learning to genuinely love God rather than trying to impress people. As citizens of the new kingdom of Jesus, we should give generously & quietly. We should pray sincerely and for the approval of our Heavenly Father. And finally, we should fast to please God and tap into His presence and power, rather than to impress our peers. So many of us fall into the subtle trap of hypocrisy, but Jesus came to free us from the chains of mask-wearing and people-pleasing!
