Who Are You Trying To Impress? - Sermon On The Mount Series (Nathan Holland)

Nathan's message, "Who Are You Trying To Impress?", delves into Jesus's warnings against religious hypocrisy. He defines hypocrisy as performing good deeds for human praise rather than God's approval. Nathan illustrates this through three spiritual disciplines: giving to the needy, prayer, and fasting. In each case, Jesus calls for these acts to be done in secret, emphasizing that God, who sees in secret, will provide the true, lasting reward, contrasting with the fleeting recognition sought by hypocrites. The core takeaway is to assess our intentions and ensure our worship is directed solely to God.
