During three weeks, we will look at Matthew 6:1-18, moving from the outside toward the Lord’s Prayer in the middle. First we considered Jesus’ warnings about hypocrisy: doing the right things in order to receive human applause. Jesus called us rather to focus on the divine audience and receive grace upon grace from God.
The personal letter Paul wrote to Philemon contains a beautiful picture of redemption through the work of Christ.
At the Red Sea, the LORD triumphed gloriously, made himself known, and anticipated his greater triumph in the cross and resurrection.
It’s one thing to say we believe, another to demonstrate it with what we do with our possessions and our abilities.
