Give Us Today Our Daily Bread (Matthew 6:9-11) The Big Idea: Jesus teaches that God isn't just interested in world-changing events; He desires an intimate relationship close enough to walk with you through ordinary, everyday moments. 1. What Is Jesus Telling Us to Pray For? Every Single Daily Need We Have "Daily bread" represents everything necessary for life—physical, emotional, financial, relational, and practical needs. “When we pray for bread we are praying at the same time for ‘everything necessary for the preservation of this life, like food, a healthy body, good weather, house, home...'” — Frederick Dale Bruner (quoting Martin Luther) The Small Things Matter to God We often assume God is too busy for trivial things (traffic, lost keys, stressful meetings). But Jesus transfigured everyday life by inviting us to pray for the small stuff. God welcomes our thousands of trivial matters because He cares about us. 2. What Is Jesus Not Telling Us to Pray For? Our Greeds Rather Than Our Needs Jesus teaches us to pray for bread, not cake. He promises to meet our needs, not fund our greed, comparison, or poor stewardship. “The prayer is for our needs, not our greeds.” — D.A. Carson “When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.” — James 4:2-3 God's ultimate goal is not merely to make us comfortable, but to make us holy. 3. Six Lessons About Prayer Prayer obtains things for yourself: Asking God for help isn't selfish; it is obedience. Asking is necessary: Not because God is unaware, but because asking develops faith, expresses dependence, and invites God into our lives (James 4:2). God is committed to giving: Jesus doesn't say "if it's not too much trouble." He says, "Give us." We approach a loving Father with audacious confidence, not a reluctant stranger. Pray vaguely or specifically: God doesn't require perfect wording, but specific prayers help us notice specific answers and see His faithfulness. Pray for yourself and others: "Give us" reminds us to carry the community's needs before God. Trust God in unanswered prayer: If God withholds something, we trust His wisdom. As Psalm 23:1 says, "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing." 4. Practical Ways to Pray for Daily Bread Pray the words Jesus gave us: Say "Give us today our daily bread" to place your entire day in His hands. Set today's worries before God: Turn daily anxieties (bills, deadlines, appointments) into daily prayers. Set today's calendar before God: Invite God into every meeting, conversation, and task before rushing in. Be the provision for others: Ask, "God, who needs daily bread from me today?" God often answers someone else's prayer through your ordinary kindness. Discipleship Group Questions What "small" concerns do you hesitate to pray about, and why? How does viewing God as a loving Father change how you approach daily needs? Where does the distinction between "need" and "greed" become difficult in everyday life? Which of the six lessons about prayer challenged or encouraged you the most? Who in your life needs "daily bread" right now, and how can you help provide it this week?

In a culture obsessed with visibility and recognition, Jesus presents a radical alternative: the hidden life of faith. Through His teaching on fasting in Matthew 6:16-18, He addresses a fundamental question that extends far beyond this single spiritual discipline - who is your audience when you practice your faith? Jesus warns against the hypocrisy of disfiguring one's face to be seen by others while fasting. The irony is striking: making oneself unrecognizable in order to be recognized, becoming invisible to appear more visible. This transforms what should be a God-directed discipline into a people-directed performance. The appetite for recognition becomes a form of spiritual gluttony, where we crave acknowledgment for our holy activities rather than genuine connection with God. The real test of our motives comes when our service goes unnoticed, our sacrifices aren't acknowledged, and our spiritual disciplines receive no recognition. If there's an ache inside us during these moments, it reveals who our real audience has been all along. Jesus offers a different path: practice spiritual disciplines in secret, appearing normal while fasting, and directing our righteousness toward the Father who sees everything no one else sees. The reward isn't a transaction but entry into relationship with God Himself. For those serving quietly without fanfare, Jesus promises that the Father sees and will reward the hidden life that builds treasure in heaven where it can never be taken away.

This week we commence a new sermon series looking at the Lord's Prayer. Prayer is the distinct privilege and joy of the Christian, yet it is so often neglected. We hope this series encourages us and equips us to pray.

Jesus didn't come to offer a comfortable, “blue-pill” version of faith. He came announcing the Kingdom of God—a new reality that changes everything.In Week 6 of Find Your Place in God's Mission, Tammy Melchien teaches from Mark 1, Luke 4, and Matthew 6 to explore Jesus' radical invitation to repent, realign our lives, and follow Him as King. Through the lens of The Matrix, this message shows how the mission of God becomes visible in Jesus—and how following Him reshapes our priorities, relationships, and purpose.Discover what it means to seek first the Kingdom of God and join Jesus in His mission to bring hope, justice, grace, and restoration to the world.

Matthew 6:19-24 The Things We Treasure SouthPoint/Brett Spross

Of all the commands Jesus gives us, the command not to worry is, for many of us, one of the more difficult ones. Is that even possible?  This morning, we'll look at what Jesus meant when He called us to set aside worry, and we'll think about how we might begin to do that. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

Jesus calls believers to trust God and not to worry. Listen to hear the steps we can take that result in God's peace, not tumultuous worry. Visit: abideatascadero.orgEmail: info@abideatascadero.orgInstagram: @abide.calvary_atascFacebook: @AbideCalvaryAtascadero

Matthew 6:1-18 Who Sees You? SouthPoint/Brett Spross

Matthew 6

Jesus teaches that authentic generosity isn't about the act itself, but about the audience we're performing for. In Matthew 6:1-4, He warns against practicing righteousness to be seen by others, using theatrical language to describe how even good deeds can become self-promotion. When we give for human recognition, we receive exactly what we sought, applause, but nothing more. True generosity happens when our left hand doesn't know what our right hand is doing, becoming so natural that self-congratulation has no room to grow. The Father who sees in secret rewards not with future payment, but with present encounter and relationship. Gospel-motivated giving flows from knowing God's unconditional love in Christ, not from trying to earn His favor.

Food on the Plate & Treasure in Heaven (Matthew 6:16-24) by Faith Family Church Oak Grove

Series: 2026 - The Gospel of Matthew: The King RevealedService: Sunday WorshipType: Bible MessageSpeaker: Phillip W. MartinJesus teaches us to pray by starting where he started: with the Father. The Lord's Prayer is not a ritual to recite but a life to enter, moving from the holiness of God's name to the coming of his kingdom to the honest needs we bring as his family. Every line points to the Son, who hallowed the name, brought the kingdom, paid the debt, and overcame the evil one so we could pray it with him.

Looking to Jesus' words about trusting in Him as we celebrate our Graduating Seniors. 

We all have treasures—things that we value and protect and seek more of.  Our treasures are the things that matter the most to us. Jesus reminds us that what we treasure will have a significant impact on how we live, and He challenges us to think about what treasures we are seeking with our lives. - Pastor Ron KoolSupport the show

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” (Matthew 6:19–21 NLT) “Heaven on earth” is a well-worn cliché in popular culture. You can find the phrase or idea in countless songs, books, TV shows, movies, and online content. Of course, God’s people understand that there’s a sharp distinction between Heaven and earth. Heaven is the real deal, the eternal dwelling place. Earth is the temporary dwelling place. There is no comparison. Think of the best things you’ve ever experienced on this earth: your wedding day, the birth of a child, or a special moment with someone you love. Even the most impactful, the most unforgettable, and the most life-changing incidents were merely glimpses of glory, tastes of what’s to come in Heaven. S. Lewis wrote in Letters to Malcolm, “The hills and valleys of heaven will be to those you now experience not as a copy is to an original . . . but as the flower to the root, or the diamond to the coal.” The Bible tells us that one day believers will stand before the judgment seat of Christ, also known as the Bema Seat. There, we will receive rewards for our faithfulness to God. Paul wrote to the churches of Galatia, “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up” (Galatians 6:9 NLT). He also offered this reminder in 1 Corinthians 3:8: “The one who plants and the one who waters work together with the same purpose. And both will be rewarded for their own hard work” (NLT). Therein lies our incentive for this earthly life. There will be a reward. This should cause us to want to do everything we can for God’s glory. That’s what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 6:19–21 when He said, “Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal. Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be” (NLT). He’s talking about traveling light, where material possessions are concerned. As I’ve often said, we can’t take it with us, but we can send it on ahead. Every investment we make of our lives for God’s glory—the giving of our time, the use of our gifts, the investment of our resources—will result in an eternal reward. By being faithful to the Lord, we are laying up treasure in Heaven for ourselves. Reflection question: What would laying up treasures in Heaven instead of on earth look like in your life?

In this episode, Grant dives into one of the hardest commands Jesus gives us in Matthew 6:9–14: forgiveness. Forgiveness isn't optional for believers. It's at the very center of the life God calls us to live. But what does forgiveness actually look like? Why is it so difficult to let go of hurt? This conversation gets honest about the weight of unforgiveness and how bitterness, offense, and pain can quietly keep us bound. Grant unpacks how forgiveness is not about excusing the wound, but about surrendering it to God and allowing Him to heal what we can't heal on our own. Through Jesus, we've been freely forgiven, and He invites us into that same freedom by extending grace to others. Forgiveness may not change the past, but it can change your heart, your healing, and your future. Our prayer is that this episode helps you release what you've been carrying, trust God with the hurt, and walk in the freedom that comes through forgiveness.

Jesus has instructed us to seek God's Kingdom and righteousness first.

Scripture Passages Matthew 6:24-33; Romans 8:32; 1 Peter 5:7

Pastor Dylan Dodson preaches on Matthew 6:19-24 and what Jesus says about how we should view wealth.

Your Kingdom Come, Your Will Be Done Introduction In this message, Coleton walks through one of the most important lines in the Lord's Prayer: “Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” — Matthew 6:10 Jesus is not giving His followers empty religious words to repeat. He is teaching them how to partner with God in the renewal of the world. This prayer is not passive resignation. It is an invitation into participation with God. Coleton structures the sermon around three major questions: What is Jesus telling us to ask for? Why doesn't God just do it without our prayers? What does this mean for our prayers practically? Throughout the message, Coleton emphasizes a central truth: prayer matters because God has chosen to work through the prayers of His people. 1. What Is Jesus Telling Us to Ask For? We Are Asking for God's Kingdom and God's Will Coleton explains that Jesus teaches us to pray for two connected realities: God's Kingdom to come God's will to be done These cannot be separated. God's Kingdom is the place where God's will is actually happening. Coleton uses a quote from Dallas Willard to explain this idea clearly: “God's own ‘kingdom,' or ‘rule,' is the range of His effective will, where what He wants done is done.” — Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy The sermon explains that every person has a small “kingdom” — a sphere where their choices shape reality. God's Kingdom is the sphere where His desires, purposes, goodness, and authority reign completely. So when Jesus teaches us to pray, “Your kingdom come,” He is teaching us to pray: Let more of what God wants happen here. Let more of heaven invade earth. Let the qualities of God's reign spread into places where they are absent. Coleton says we see the qualities of God's Kingdom most clearly in Jesus. When Jesus walked the earth, He announced: “The Kingdom of God has come upon you.” Then He demonstrated what that Kingdom looked like. Coleton walks through example after example from the Gospels: Abundance Where There Was Scarcity John 2 Mark 6 Jesus multiplies provision and turns lack into overflowing abundance. Truth Where There Was Hypocrisy John 3 Matthew 23 Jesus exposes false religion and reveals truth that leads to life. Freedom Where There Was Bondage Mark 5 Jesus delivers people oppressed by evil and restores them to wholeness. Healing Where There Was Disease Matthew 8 Mark 5 The Kingdom of God pushes back sickness and brokenness. Restoration Where There Was Alienation John 4 Jesus restores dignity and relationship to the Samaritan woman. Hospitality Where There Was Hatred Luke 19 Jesus welcomes Zacchaeus when everyone else rejected him. Life Where There Was Death John 11 Jesus raises Lazarus and reveals that death does not get the final word. Hope Where There Was Despair Mark 5 Jesus enters impossible situations and brings hope again. Love Where There Was Hatred Acts 9 The Gospel transforms persecutors into followers of Jesus. Justice Where There Was Oppression Acts 16 God breaks chains and overturns systems of darkness. Coleton repeatedly reminds the church: When Jesus extended the Kingdom, He extended these qualities into people's lives. So praying “Your Kingdom come” means praying: Bring freedom here. Bring healing here. Bring justice here. Bring peace here. Bring restoration here. Bring hope here. This prayer is asking for the realities of heaven to invade earth. 2. Why Doesn't God Just Do It Without Our Prayers? This becomes the heart of the sermon. Coleton addresses a question many people quietly wrestle with: “If God is sovereign, why does prayer matter at all?” His answer is simple and profound: Because God has sovereignly chosen to work through people. God Has Always Worked Through Human Partnership Coleton goes back to Genesis. God did not need Adam and Eve to tend the garden. He could have done everything Himself. Yet He intentionally gave humanity responsibility, authority, and participation. God chose partnership. Coleton quotes Dallas Willard again: “We are meant to exercise our ‘rule' only in union with God, as He acts with us.” Human beings were designed to work alongside God in stewarding creation. Prayer is part of that design. Prayer Is Not an Afterthought — It Is Part of the Way God Ordered the World Coleton strongly emphasizes: God does not need intercessors. He chooses intercessors. He quotes Tyler Staton: “Prayer is the means by which we push back the curse that's infected the world and infected us.” This is one of the central ideas of the sermon: Prayer is how God has chosen for His Kingdom to advance. Coleton gives practical analogies: God could have nourished us without food — but He chose food. God could have sustained life without oxygen and blood — but He chose those means. God could have worked without prayer — but He chose prayer. Prayer is not magic. Prayer is partnership. Your Prayers Actually Matter Coleton passionately confronts the idea that prayer changes nothing. He says believing prayer does not matter fundamentally misunderstands how God designed the world. He points to passages showing the consequences of prayerlessness: We Miss Things When We Don't Pray 2 Chronicles 16:9 We Make Bad Decisions Without Seeking God Joshua 9:14 Some Things Do Not Happen Apart From Prayer Mark 9:29 Coleton makes an important clarification: This is not because God is angry or withholding. It is because this is the structure God established. He quotes Charles Spurgeon: “If you may have everything by asking, and nothing without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is.” Even Jesus intercedes now for believers. If prayer did not matter, Jesus would not still be praying. 3. What This Means for Our Prayers There Is Power in Your Praying Coleton wants believers to leave with confidence. Not confidence in themselves. Not confidence in perfect wording. Confidence that God has chosen to work through prayer. He says: Prayer works powerfully because God has set it up that way. Coleton quotes Skye Jethani: “We are active participants with God in the writing, directing, design, and action that unfolds.” Prayer is participation in God's work in the world. Because of that, believers should actually expect God to move when they pray. Leonard Ravenhill's quote drives this home: “You cannot estimate the power of prayer… because He has committed Himself to answer it.” 4. Practical Ways to Pray “Your Kingdom Come” Coleton closes the sermon with deeply practical guidance. Pray for Kingdom Qualities Where They Are Missing He encourages believers to look for brokenness and pray specifically for God's Kingdom to invade those places. Tyler Staton's quote summarizes this beautifully: “Ask for Jesus to come anywhere and everywhere you know God's kingdom of love and peace is lacking.” Examples: Pray for friends who do not know Jesus. Pray for healing. Pray for Memphis. Pray for injustice. Pray for broken families. Pray for mental and emotional struggles. Coleton encourages practices like: Prayer walks Prayer drives People watching and praying Using reminders like a “Pray for Memphis” hat Prayer becomes a lifestyle of seeing the world through the eyes of God's Kingdom. Pray the Promises of God Coleton teaches believers to pray Scripture because God is faithful to His promises. He quotes John Wesley: “The best we can say to God in prayer is, what he hath said to us.” He then walks through promises believers can pray confidently: Comfort “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4 Freedom and New Life “If anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation.” — 2 Corinthians 5:17 Peace Philippians 4:6–7 Greater Works John 14:12 Rest Matthew 11:28–29 Provision Matthew 6:33 Philippians 4:19 Malachi 3:10 Wisdom James 1:5 Restoration Joel 2:25–26 Isaiah 61:3–4 Strength 2 Corinthians 12:9 Isaiah 40:31 Coleton encourages believers to pray these promises boldly because they reveal God's heart and His Kingdom. Pray for the Things Jesus Did Coleton says the Gospels reveal what the Kingdom of God looks like. So believers should read about Jesus: healing, restoring, forgiving, freeing, reconciling, and pray for those same Kingdom realities to happen around them today. Trust God When Prayers Aren't Answered the Way You Want Coleton ends with honesty and pastoral wisdom. Not every prayer is answered the way we expect. Paul prayed for the “thorn in the flesh” to leave, but God said: “My grace is sufficient for you.” Sometimes God's Kingdom advances through weakness rather than the removal of suffering. Coleton reminds the church: The apostles experienced miracles. The apostles also experienced tragedy. Yet they never stopped believing in prayer. The call of the believer is not to understand everything perfectly, but to trust God in the mystery. Final Challenge Coleton closes by bringing everything back to one foundational truth: Prayer has power because this is how God designed the world to function. Just as: food satisfies hunger, water quenches thirst, oxygen sustains life, God has chosen prayer as one of the primary ways His Kingdom advances in the earth. Jesus teaches His followers to pray because prayer truly matters. Discipleship Group Questions When you hear the phrase “Your Kingdom come,” what do you naturally think about, and how did this message expand your understanding of it? Which “Kingdom quality” from Jesus' ministry (healing, restoration, justice, freedom, hope, etc.) do you most long to see break into your own life or your community right now? Why do you think God chose to work through human partnership and prayer instead of simply doing everything Himself? What keeps you from believing your prayers truly matter, and how did this sermon challenge that mindset? What is one practical way you can begin intentionally praying for God's Kingdom to come in Memphis, your family, your workplace, or your neighborhood this week? Culture of Gospel Share this with someone in your life who doesn't know Jesus What if prayer is not about escaping the world, but partnering with God to heal it? Jesus taught that God's Kingdom brings hope where there is despair, healing where there is brokenness, and love where there is hatred—and He invites ordinary people to become part of that renewal.  

Matthew 6:1-4“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.2 “So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. 3 But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4 so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.NOTE: This text is part of the Sermon on the Mount describing life in the Kingdom of God Jesus is brining into the world. Verse 1 of Chapter 6 introduces this section which several applications found here in verses 2-4 and then in Thursdays reading verses 5-6. First of all Jesus is not meaning we do not ever practice our righteousness ever in front of others… but He is saying “don't do righteous things ‘to be seen by others'…. Its about motive. Giving to the needy in this context is not just money but all serving to those in need…. ….,.with His signature ‘hyperbole' Jesus is warning about motives….. we really see He goal of making us into people of LOVE not just getting projects of love done through us.

Matthew 6:33 – Constitution for the Kingdom

God knows what we need and is faithful. We needn't be anxious for anything.Tune in this week as Pastor Erick Willis continues our series through Matthew, focusing on chapter 6, verses 25-32 and 34.If you would like to partner with BLVD Church and what we are doing in the community, you can make an investment of support at https://blvd.church/give

In this message from Matthew 6:25–34, Eric speaks directly to one of the most common struggles we all face—worry. While Jesus' words “Do not worry” may seem easier said than done, this sermon unpacks the deeper invitation to trust our Father who knows and cares for every need. Through simple but powerful reminders—like birds in the air and flowers in the field—Eric shows how God is constantly pointing us back to His provision and our value to Him. This message offers a practical and spiritual “prescription” for anxiety: pray and look for God's care all around you. Take a few minutes to listen and be reminded that you are deeply known, valued, and cared for by your Father.

Preaching: Mike RothAt the center of the sacred story we tell, week in and week out, is the mystery of Resurrection: life from death, light from darkness, creation from chaos. This story has occupied a central place in the Christian imagination because it points to a new way to live. In this series, we are exploring the way of life Jesus sets forth in his Sermon on the Mount. Resurrection speaks over every life, “You, whoever you are, whatever your circumstances, you are blessed because Divine Love is with you.” This vision of the resurrection life opens up new ways of being such as belonging, love and trust in community, and non-anxious relationship with one another and with the Divine. This series will suggest practices for living Christ's wisdom within the texture of our ordinary lives.Pearl Church exists to express a sacred story and to extend a common table that animate life by love. A primary expression of our sacred story is the weekly sermon. If our sermons inspire you to ponder the sacred, to consider the mystery and love of God, and to live bountifully, would you consider supporting our work? You can donate easily and securely at our website: pearlchurch.org. Thank you for partnering with us in expressing this sacred story.

In this sermon, pastor Dylan Dodson preaches from Matthew 6:5-18 as we look at the Lord's Prayer and how not to be a hypocrite when we pray.

In this episode, Nancy Wilson contrasts external adornment with the hidden beauty of a meek and quiet spirit, and draws on scripture and the words of Matthew Henry to show how trust in God, freedom from worry, and inward grace are of great price in the sight of God.
