In Week 6 of our "Summer on the Mount" series, Pastor Casey Olsen dives into Matthew 6:1–18, where Jesus contrasts kingdom righteousness with religious performance. What does it mean to give, pray, and fast in secret? How do we resist the temptation to perform our faith for the applause of others?
This powerful message challenges us to examine our heart posture—are we seeking the reward of recognition, or the reward of intimacy with the Father?
💬 “Beware of practicing your righteousness before others to be seen by them…” – Matthew 6:1
