Jesus Teaches on Fasting: The Hidden Power of Quiet Sacrifice
In Matthew 6:16–18, Jesus challenges the public showmanship that often surrounds spiritual acts like fasting. Instead, He calls His followers to fast in secret, with joy and sincerity. In 2025, when image often overshadows substance, this teaching leads us back to humility, reward, and deeper intimacy with the Father.
Jesus Teaches on Giving: From Performance to Private Devotion
In Matthew 6:1–4, Jesus begins a new section of the Sermon on the Mount by addressing giving—not the act, but the motive behind it. In 2025, when public approval is just a post away, Jesus reminds us that the Father rewards what’s done in secret. Real generosity seeks no spotlight.
