We've been in a section of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus has been calling out hypocrisy in multiple areas. This morning, we will start with Jesus' concluding statement concerning worry and then we will move on to the fifth and final area of hypocrisy. This area of hypocrisy involves the improper judgment of others.
Jesus moves into a section of the Sermon on the Mount concerning worry and anxiety. He tells His audience not to worry about what they eat, drink, or wear and He gives reasons why. Ultimately, worry and anxiety do not contribute to the solution of any problem we face in life. To illustrate and explain how God wants to care and provide for us, Jesus uses a couple of examples from nature. And, then, to close this section, He gives something BETTER for us to focus our mental energy on.
If you were going to spend the rest of your life doing one thing, what would you want that one thing to be? What would immediately become most important to you? Today, guest speaker Cody Hughes teaches about what the world might view as "Wasting your life", but brings our focus to what should be most important in our lives.
This morning we are going to continue with the theme of Jesus calling out hypocrisy in the area of money. Jesus will continue to show how a person's focus on earthly treasures can cause a negative spiritual impact at multiple levels.
This morning we are going to continue with the major theme of this section of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus is calling out religious hypocrisy. He is taking on three of the most prominent religious activities of the 1st century Jew: (1) Charitable Giving [v1-4], (2) Prayer [v5-v13], and (3) Fasting [v16-v18]. In light of the topic of hypocrisy, Jesus will now exhort, encourage, illustrate and challenge His disciples to focus on building wealth where it really matters, and where the investment lasts - heaven!
