Questions from YOU...
In Chapter 6 the Sermon on the Mount Continues with Spiritual Issues of Giving, Prayer, and Fasting, as well as Heaven and Worry. During Jesus time many of these spiritual disciplines had become legalistic. Once again the heart behind giving, prayer and fasting had become selfish and self promoting instead of being done for their original intentions of growing closer to God. What is your intention of coming to church? To show off or to meet with Christ? Why do you pray? So you can get something or for humility before our Creator?
Verse 24-- Begins to talk about God vs. Money- This is a theme that is noticed throughout Jesus ministry. Ultimately is your trust in God or in Things? Do you seek God first or something else first?
Verses 2, 5, & 16
