Filtered Faith // Upside-Down Life: Wk 14

Pastor Donny challenges to examine the true motivations behind our spiritual practices. The core of Matthew 6 reminds us that it's not just about what we do, but why we do it. Are we living for the applause of others or for the approval of our Heavenly Father? This teaching urges us to give, pray, and serve in secret, knowing that God sees and rewards what's done in private. The story of Ananias and Sapphira from Acts 5 serves as a stark warning against hypocrisy and the dangers of seeking human recognition over divine approval. We're encouraged to cultivate a heart that doesn't need to be noticed, finding freedom in being seen by God alone. Donny invites us to audit our motives, give where there's no stage, and rest in the Father's delight, reminding us that in Christ, we're already fully known and loved.
