March 09, 2026. Matthew 6:1

Title: The Upside Down Spiritual LifeSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this week's Sunday sermon from Matthew 6:7–15, Pastor Nate Holdridge walks through one of the most familiar passages in all of Scripture—the Lord's Prayer. Rather than treating it as a rote recitation, we'll unpack it as a template for a rich, structured prayer life: compact enough to pray in a minute, expansive enough to carry a lifetime of conversation with God. Working through the two halves of the prayer, we explore what it means to begin with the Father's honor, rule, and will before turning to our own needs for provision, forgiveness, and daily leadership. If your prayer life has grown mechanical, rushed, or shallow, this message is an invitation back to the closet and back to the Father who is already waiting.Link to Sermon NotesLink to Discussion Questions

Praying to Your Father (Matthew 6:9-10)Four Aspects of How We Ought to PrayI. RelationalII. God-Centered III. Kingdom-MindedIV. Future-Looking“If you want to judge how well a person understands Christianity, find out how much he makes of the thought of being God's child, and having God as his Father. If this is not the thought that prompts and controls his worship and prayers and his whole outlook on life, it means that he does not understand Christianity very well at all. For everything that Christ taught, everything that makes the New Testament new, and better than the Old, everything that is distinctively Christian as opposed to merely Jewish, is summed up in the knowledge of the Fatherhood of God. ‘Father' is the Christian name for God” (J. I. Packer).

Kingdom Calm Over Worldly Anxiety is a sermon from Matthew 6:25–34 about how Jesus confronts our age of anxiety with a better way to live. The message contrasts a world where one in three adults wrestle with anxiety and depression with the calm Jesus offers as we trust a Father who feeds the birds and clothes the lilies. The message shows that anxiety isn't just emotional but deeply theological, springing from misplaced allegiance to money, image, or control instead of God. It walks through Jesus' command to “seek first the kingdom of God,” explaining that this is not a vending‑machine promise but a reordering of our priorities around His rule. Pastor Matthew then gives four practical rhythms, starting the day in awe, worship as spiritual therapy, trading “what if?” for “even if,” and persistent prayer, to help believers live with kingdom calm in a worried world. Finally, it lands in the gospel: the God who did not spare His own Son will surely meet us in tomorrow's troubles, so we can rest today in His care.

Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/ Christian Solidarity International On today's Quick Start podcast: NEWS: A U.S. submarine sinks an Iranian warship in a historic torpedo strike — the first of its kind since World War II — as the Pentagon says the U.S. is “winning decisively” in Operation Epic Fury and moving toward full control of Iran's airspace. Iran warns the U.S. will “bitterly regret” the attack as missile and drone strikes intensify across the region. FOCUS STORY: The human cost of the war hits home in Israel. An Iranian ballistic missile strike kills nine civilians and injures dozens after slamming into a residential area.

Why do we put ash on our foreheads Jonah 3; Matthew 6:16–21

Why pray if God already knows everything that is going to happen? Why pray if God has a Sovereign Will that will be done no matter what? Yet Jesus doesn't just invite us to pray but commands it. He then even gives us a model. By understanding the Lord's Prayer not only can our own prayer lives be transformed but our very friendship with our heavenly Father.

Title: The Upside Down Spiritual LifeSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this sermon from Matthew 6:1-18, Pastor Nate Holdridge walks through Jesus' warning against performative religion — the danger of doing the right things for the wrong audience. Jesus gives three illustrations of this temptation: giving to the poor with a trumpet blast, praying on street corners for maximum visibility, and fasting with a disfigured face designed to advertise spiritual discipline. In each case, Jesus contrasts the hypocrite who has already been "paid in full" with human applause against the disciple who practices righteousness in secret before a Father who sees, knows, and rewards. Pastor Nate shows how the Fatherhood of God — mentioned ten times in this passage — is the controlling center that transforms our motivations, turning us from an audience of peers to an audience of One. This teaching includes practical guidance on biblical fasting, an honest look at why the contemporary church has been slow to teach on fasting, and a call for every believer to embrace the secret life of faith that Jesus assumes of all His followers.Link to Sermon NotesLink to Discussion Questions

Matthew 6:19-34

"And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors." - Matthew 6:12When Jesus taught His disciples to pray, He included both receiving AND extending forgiveness. We all carry a sin debt we could never repay - like receiving an impossible monthly statement from heaven listing every wrong thought, word, and action.But here's the incredible news: through Jesus, our statement reads "PAID IN FULL."

Wehave already spoken about the soldier on his knees, breathing out prayers. Thespiritual breath of the believer is prayer. In contrast, the breath of thewicked person in Proverbs is lies. This does not mean that we are alwaystalking in prayer. Jesus even warned about vain repetitions in prayers in Matthew6:7. No, He is speaking of constantly having communion with the Lord—living inthe awareness of His presence. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.I believe the fear of the Lord is a constant, continual awareness of the Lord'spresence. It means you never have to say, “Lord, we come into Your presence,”because you are already in His presence. Topray always means that we take His hand in the light as we read His Word in themorning. We open our hearts in prayer, asking Him for grace, help, mercy, andstrength for the day. As we do that, we keep hold of His hand. I have told youbefore about a dear older lady in our church. She did not have the mostbeautiful voice, but she was a godly woman who could share the good news ofChrist in a powerful way through her songs. I will never forget what she saidone time: “If you take the hand of the Lord in the light, when it gets dark youdon't have to look for it.” That is continuing instant in prayer. That ispraying always. Topray always means that when you are tempted, you ask for help. I wouldencourage you to study James 1 very carefully, especially if you are dealingwith temptations and trials. If you do not know which way to go, if you needwisdom, then pray for wisdom. “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask ofGod, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall begiven him” (James 1:5). God gives generously and does not hold back. Whenyou are blessed, you give thanks. You open your heart and acknowledge that “everygood gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Fatherof lights” (James 1:17). When you see evil, you pray for righteousness. Youflee from evil and pray that you will continue to walk in the righteousness ofJesus Christ. When you meet someone who is lost, you pray for their salvationand for wisdom to be a witness to them.Ithink about the disciples. They observed the Lord praying. They saw Himwithdraw to solitary places to pray. On one occasion they said, “Lord, teachus to pray, as John also taught his disciples.” That request is recorded inLuke 11. The Lord then began to teach them how to pray. My friend, I never readwhere the disciples said, “Lord, teach us how to preach. Teach us how towitness. Teach us how to heal. Teach us how to perform miracles. Teach us howto speak in tongues.” They never asked for those things. But they did say, “Lord,teach us to pray.” In essence, they were asking, “Teach us how to have thekind of constant awareness and communion with the Father that You have.” Thatshould be our prayer today: Lord, teach us to pray. Prayeris continual God-consciousness. In Acts 2:42, we read that the early church “continuedsteadfastly… in prayers.” David said in Psalm 55:17, “Evening, andmorning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.” Myfriend, we are always subject to attack. Therefore, we must always be inprayer.Jesustold His disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane, “Watch and pray.” Butthey slept. Jesus prayed. When the temptation came, Peter failed. But Jesusstood strong in the midst of the greatest temptation ever faced—on the cross. Myfriend, we too can stand strong when we continue instant in prayer. Jesussaid in Luke 18:1 that men “ought always to pray, and not to faint.”Either we are praying, or we are quitting. We are praying or we are fainting. Oh, my friend, prayer is the breath of the Christian—that constant awareness of the breath of God. So what is the frequency of prayer? Itis this: praying always—in every situation, every day, at all times—keepingyour mind set on Him and continually asking for His grace and

Message from Miriam Ryan on March 1, 2026

In this message from our Flourishing series, Andrew Wilson explores Jesus' words in Matthew 6 and the invitation to a wholehearted, integrated life. Drawing on the call to store up treasure in heaven and serve one master, he shows how divided desires keep us from joy, and how true happiness is found when our hearts, minds and bodies are aligned in serving God. With warmth and clarity, Andrew points us to the deeper hope of the gospel: not just striving for wholeness, but receiving it through Jesus, who perfectly lived the life we could not.

In this message, Pastor Matthew unpacks Matthew 6:19–24 and exposes the subtle but deadly danger of divided devotion. We see how our treasure, our vision, and our master are all connected, and how what we love most will always shape how we live. This passages causes us to examine our spending, our habits, and our heart to see who or what you are really serving. If you have ever felt the pull between God and “more,” this message is for you. Watch, reflect, and ask: where does my treasure say my heart truly is?

Matthew 6:1-18

In this message from Generation Church, Pastor Ryan Visconti kicks off the Money Myths series with a powerful teaching from Matthew 6:19–34. Jesus doesn't treat money like a neutral tool. He exposes it as a rival master that competes for your devotion.You'll learn what Jesus meant by “You cannot serve God and mammon,” why your treasure is tethered to your heart, and how worry reveals a divided soul. God calls us to stop placing our certainty in a bank balance and start leaning fully on the Lord.If you've been battling financial anxiety, a scarcity mindset, or the feeling that “more money will finally make me secure,” this sermon will remind you that God is not only a Master worth serving - He is a loving Father who knows your needs and promises to provide.
