Matthew 6:1-10

Listen to Matthew 6:1-10

Giving to the Needy

1 “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.

Prayer

5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.

6 But 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.

7 And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think 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 “This, then, is how you should pray: “ ‘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.
