Our Devotion

Jan 26, 2025    Jonathan Neufeld

In this powerful exploration of devotion, we're challenged to examine the true nature of our faith practices. Drawing from Matthew 6:1-18, we dive into Jesus' teachings on giving, prayer, and fasting. The central message is clear: our devotion should be rooted in a genuine relationship with God, not in seeking praise from others. We're reminded that the most crucial aspect of our faith is what only God sees - our private moments of devotion. This message invites us to reflect on our motives behind religious practices. Are we like the Pharisees, seeking validation from others, or are we cultivating a sincere connection with our Heavenly Father? By emphasizing the importance of 'secret' devotion, we're encouraged to deepen our faith beyond surface-level actions, focusing on heart transformation rather than outward appearances.
