What Jesus Teaches About Wealth and Possessions (Visual Commentary)

Prayer is about spending time with God. And the Bible describes Jesus praying alone and with his followers. But Jesus instructs his followers to pray to God in secret if praying in front of others leads to hypocrisy.

Instead of Giving a Rule About Prayer, Jesus Offers This Wisdom

Jesus doesn’t describe one right way to give generously. Instead, he encourages his followers to cultivate a close relationship with God and do right for the right reasons.

How can we make sure our generosity is done out of love?

The biblical Greek word teleios is often translated “perfect.” More specifically, it refers to something that has fulfilled its purpose or accomplished the goal for which it was made.

Teleios = something that has fulfilled its purpose????

What does Jesus say about doing what is right for the wrong reasons? Join us Saturday, June 22 for the sixth episode in the 10-part Sermon on the Mount series.

Don't Give, Pray, or Fast in Public?! (Learn the Wisdom of Jesus' Advice)

"An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is a famous line from ancient law, intended to protect people from disproportionate retaliation. But Jesus urges his followers to refrain from any kind of retaliation and value peace more than vengeance.

How does Jesus unpack an ancient law of retaliation and take its wisdom to a new level? ????️ ????
