Give, Pray, Fast

May 8, 2016 Speaker: Phil Kruis Series: Sermon on the Mount

Topic: Sunday Morning Passage: Matthew 6:1–18

"Give, Pray, Fast"
Matthew 6:1–17

Main Point: Authentic Christian righteousness is not just about outward religious duties but it is also a secret thing of the heart.

I. Giving (1–4)

  • The hypocrite’s false religion
  • The Christian way
  • The reward

II. Praying (5–15)

  • The hypocrite’s false religion
  • The Christian way
  • The reward

III. Fasting (16–18)

  • The hypocrite’s false religion
  • The Christian way
  • The reward

Conclusion:

Questions to consider: When you do religious duties or practice spiritual disciplines, are you doing them for you or are you doing them for God? Do you depend on self-earned, self-focused righteousness or do you depend entirely on Jesus’ righteousness to make your relationship with God right?
