163: 23-02-2025 The Jesus Manifesto (Part 27) The unseen acts of faith are the most revealing of our spiritual health

This morning’s message challenges us to examine not only what we do, but the motives behind our actions. In today’s talk, we explore Jesus’ teaching from Matthew 6:16-18—a call to practice our faith quietly and sincerely. Instead of seeking the fleeting applause of others, Jesus invites us to focus on the unseen acts of faith that truly reveal the health of our spiritual lives. We look at the stark contrast between the public displays of the Pharisees and genuine devotion that comes from a heart set on pleasing God. Whether it’s fasting, serving, or any act of faith, the emphasis is on why we do it. Through real-life examples from history and modern life, this message reminds us that true reward comes from God, who sees every act done in secret. Let this message inspire you to realign your focus—choosing God’s eternal reward over human recognition—and discover the deep, lasting joy that comes from living for His approval.
Mathew 6: 16-18
