In this episode, we delve into the teachings of Matthew 6:1-15, exploring the profound lessons on humility and sincerity in our spiritual practices. We discuss the importance of performing charitable deeds in secret, emphasizing that true rewards come from the divine rather than the recognition of others. The episode highlights the contrast between genuine acts of mercy and the performative gestures of hypocrites, urging listeners to seek a deeper, more personal connection with their faith.

We also explore the essence of prayer as taught in these verses, focusing on the significance of private, heartfelt communication with the divine. The episode provides insights into the Lord's Prayer, encouraging a sincere approach to prayer that avoids empty repetitions and acknowledges the omniscience of the divine. By embracing forgiveness and seeking guidance, we can align ourselves with the spiritual principles that promise both personal and communal peace.

Be careful that you don't do your charitable giving   before men   to be seen by them or else you have no reward from your father who is in heaven. Therefore, when you do merciful deeds,   don't sound a trumpet before yourself, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets that they may get glory from men.

Most certainly, I tell you, they have received

their reward.   But when you do merciful deeds, don't let your left hand know what your right hand does.   So that your merciful deeds may be in secret.   Then your father who sees in secret reward   you openly.

When you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites.   For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets that they may be seen by men.   Most certainly, I tell you, they have received   their reward.   But you, when you pray,   enter into your inner room.   And having shut your door,   pray to your father   who is in secret.   And your father who sees in secret will reward you openly.  

[00:01:39] Unknown:

In praying,   don't use vain repetitions   as the Gentiles do,   for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.   Therefore, don't be like them,   for your father knows what things you need before you ask him.

Pray like this.   Our father in heaven,

today our daily bread.   Forgive us our debts   as we also forgive our debtors.   Bring us not into temptation,   but deliver us from the evil one.   For yours is the kingdom,   the power, and the glory forever. Amen.  

[00:02:37] Unknown:

For if you forgive men their trespasses,   your heavenly father will also forgive you.   But if you don't forgive men their trespasses   Neither will your Father   forgive your trespasses   Matthew   six one   through
