Text: Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18
Like an athlete has various disciplines for growth and improvement, God has given us spiritual disciplines to help us grow in our relationship with Him. An athlete may be naturally talented with tremendous skills, but if they are to grow and excel, they must be disciplined in their diet, exercise, training, drills, etc. Their growth and improvement are not automatic, but directly related to their discipline. In the same way, God has given us many spiritual disciplines to help us grow in Him. In this message, Jesus highlights the disciplines of prayer, giving, and fasting – which can all be an act of genuine worship. However, He also warns us that if practiced with the wrong motives, they can be a waste of time. We invite you to listen closely today to discover and discern how you can truly live your life for the Audience of One.
