Giving, Prayer & Fasting

📖 Scripture: Matthew 6:1–18
✨ Key themes: Giving, Prayer, and Fasting  

In this message, we look at Jesus’ teaching on giving, prayer, and fasting in Matthew 6. The Pharisees made a show of their religion, but Jesus reminds us that true worship happens in the secret place—before the Father who sees in secret.  âś¨ 

Takeaways:  

- Give with a cheerful heart, not for recognition (2 Corinthians 9:6–8)
- Pray with sincerity, not empty repetition—the Lord’s Prayer as a guide
- Fast with humility, focusing on God and not on appearances  

The heart of discipleship is not performance, but relationship with God. When we give, pray, and fast for His glory alone, our lives become a testimony that points others to Christ.
