Authentic Prayer

The Church’s Marching Orders

In this passage, we see four considerations that motivate us to be involved in the mission of the church

Jesus teaches us what authentic prayer looks and sounds like, so that we might come before God as needy recipients of His grace—not performers or pretenders.

In our passage, we are exhorted that true discipleship demands radical allegiance to Christ as our Master, as we assess whether our commitment to Him distinguishes us from the world.

Jesus warns His followers to avoid the heart corrupting religious practices motivated by man’s recognition rather than by God’s, so that they might not be deceived by temporal rewards but chase a reward from their Heavenly Father.

From Your Hand We Have Given To You

In this passage, we see three sources of voluntary offerings so that we might Bless Yahweh’s name by giving offerings for the next generation.
