Matthew 6:1-13

Discussion Notes
Today we are talking about intent and how to move from performing to living.

Matthew 6:1-13 The Sermon on the Mount is one of the most famous speeches ever given. This is Jesus at his most accessible. The intriguing phenomenon is, however, that the closer one looks the more one becomes fascinated with the beauty through which Jesus addresses each topic.

At the start of Matthew 6 Jesus warnings us about intent. "Don't pray as the hypocrites do for public acclaim," he says. Great. But if we take this the wrong way it can be immobilizing. I mean, how would you ever do anything without some level of ego involved.

Bonus Material

I'll never achieve humility, but being aware of that and asking myself the right questions about my intentions ​is what keeps me moving in the right direction.
