"Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2
"So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
3
But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,
4
so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
5
"And whenever you pray, do not be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, so that they may be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward.
6
But whenever you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
7
"When you are praying, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard because of their many words.
8
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
9
"Pray then in this way: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
10
Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give to the Needy, Part 3
John Randall
Prayer is a great privilege. Just think we have access to our Father in heaven 24/7, anytime we want. But too often we go about it all the wrong way. As if He’s a genie in a bottle, there to grant any wish we have. So how should we pray? We’re given some much needed guidance in the Sermon on the Mount from the ultimate teacher Jesus Himself.
Give to the Needy, Part 2
John Randall
When you give whose approval and applause are you seeking? Man’s or God’s? We’ll allow that penetrating question to examine our own hearts today on a Daily Walk. Today we’ll be covering the first few verses of Matthew six. Throughout the Scriptures we’re encouraged to give. But as we’ll see in our study today, Jesus has His eye on more than just our outward actions. He’s also concerned with why we’re doing what we’re doing, and even how we do it!
Give to the Needy Part 1
John Randall
We’ve reached Matthew chapter six today where we’re exhorted by Christ to do good deeds and give. Now there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about it. While many are seeking the approval and applause of people, as they do something good, the Lord wants us to bring Him all the glory instead.
