Flourish by Living for an Audience of One | January 11, 2026

In this message, Pastor Bart launches the Flourish: Living the Way of Jesus series by unpacking Jesus’ words in Matthew 6. Jesus warns against turning spiritual practices into performances and invites us to examine the why behind what we do.Through the Sermon on the Mount, we see two foundations for life: one built on sand that collapses under pressure, and one built on the solid rock of Jesus’ teaching. The difference is not activity. It is authenticity.Jesus calls us to drop the mask, check our motives, and walk in a real, life giving relationship with the Father who sees everything. When we live for Him instead of human approval, we discover a faith that stands firm and truly flourishes.
