"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added unto you." Matthew 6.33 is one of the clarifying verses in the Bible. It clarifies our priorities. It clarifies our commitment.
Have you ever asked yourself who you're serving? Jesus boldly serves us even to the point of laying down His life for us. Jesus shows us a life of serving God and our neighbors. But if we are honest with ourselves, we are often living to serve ourselves, our wants. And who we serve reveals who we love.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, August 30, 2026, with Pastor Nick Olson preaching.
We live in a world filled with caution signs. It can be all too easy to brush them off and assume everything will be fine. In Matthew 6:1–8, Pastor Derek Napoleon explores spiritual warning signs posted by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Together, we'll unpack why ignoring them carries profound consequences for both daily life and eternity. At the core of this teaching, Jesus challenges the hidden motives of the human heart. He cautions against the subtle trap of performing faith, public generosity, or impressive prayers that aim to earn attention and applause from others. By exposing the emptiness of religious showmanship, He invites everyone into a far richer reality: a life marked by quiet generosity and authentic, heartfelt prayer. True righteousness is never about putting on a show for a crowd, but about living sincerely before a loving Father who sees every secret act and promises a lasting reward. Pastor Derek encourages us to step away from the noise to establish a daily "Secret Hideaway." This is both a physical space to unplug and an inner posture of abiding with God everywhere. Discover how guarding the heart against pride opens the door to genuine peace, deeper fellowship, and the joy of living for an audience of One.

Scripture is filled with thanksgiving, and gratitude ought to be a constant part of the Christian heart. We should thank Him for His blessings, His grace, His provision, His forgiveness, and the countless ways He works in our lives.But before I thank God for what He has done, I want to remember who God is.There is something powerful about approaching God without beginning with ourselves. Before I get to what He has given me, what I need from Him, or what I hope He will do, I simply praise Him. He is holy. He is righteous. He is eternal. He is Creator. He is King. He is worthy.Praise says, “God, You deserve my worship whether You give me anything else or not.” It glorifies Him not first for His gifts, but for His Deity and identity. “Great is the LORD, and highly to be praised” (Psalm 145:3).So yes, thank God. Thank Him often. Bring your requests to Him. Tell Him what you need. But maybe before any of that, spend some time simply telling God how great He is.Praise His name. Honor His glory. Worship Him from the heart. Thank Him—but praise Him first.
by Green Bouzard Scripture Reading: Matthew 6:13-20
This sermon teaches that following Jesus means living according to the values of God's Kingdom and developing spiritual disciplines that draw us closer to Him, not practices meant to impress others. Jesus highlights three key disciplines—giving, prayer, and fasting—and emphasizes that they should flow from a sincere heart, be practiced consistently, and often be done privately rather than for recognition. Ultimately, the sermon invites believers to return to the “secret place,” making regular time alone with God a priority because our Heavenly Father sees what others do not and rewards us with the greatest reward of all: His presence.

In Matthew 6:1–4, Jesus exposes a subtle danger: we can do the right things with the wrong motives. Our generosity, service, prayer, and obedience can become a performance when we begin living for the approval, recognition, and applause of people. But Jesus invites us into a different way of living, not for approval, but from the identity we have already received in Him. We don't need the crowd's applause because we already have the Father's attention. This message by Pastor Andrew Fish challenges us to examine our motives, confront the fear of man, and discover the freedom of living for an audience of One.
Today, as we study Matthew 6, we'll dive into several ways that we can know God in a deeper, richer way. One way is through prayer, another through fasting prayer, another through joining Him, and another through trusting Him. Join us as we study this Key Chapter!

Your heart is a treasury. Here is what heaven counts as treasure, and how to store it up. Everyone is storing something up, whether they realize it or not. In this message from The Resting Place, Jake Wetherbee opens Matthew 6:19-21 to unpack why the heart works like a storehouse and what actually qualifies as heavenly treasure. It is not what you would expect, and it changes what you do with your next ordinary Tuesday. Press play before you decide what is worth chasing. KEY TAKEAWAYS: 1. The heart unconnected to God gravitates toward evil, but believers have been given a new heart, not a repaired old one. 2. Whatever you watch, hear, and meditate on gets stored in your heart, and it eventually shows up in what you say and do. 3. Heavenly treasure is Christ himself, and it cannot be taken from you, unlike anything you could store up on earth.

Jesus taught us to pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." The End Vision of Revelation 7:9-10 shows that prayer fulfilled as people from every nation, tribe, and language gather before God's throne to worship the Lamb. The Lord's Prayer points us to God's global purpose for all nations. -Do you want to be an active member of 21c Moses? Then, consider becoming a 21c Moses Patreon!

This morning we are going to get back to the major theme of this portion of the Sermon on the Mount, which is Jesus identifying and calling out religious hypocrisy. In this message, we will look at His calling out of hypocritical forgiveness and hypocritical fasting.

Personalize Your Prayer To Your Heavenly Father Matthew 6:9-15 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. 9“This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11Give us today our daily bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, a but deliver us from the evil one. b ' 14For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
