More of You, Less of Me - Part 2: The Secret Place

Matthew 6:1-18As we journey through our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, Jesus meets us in the heart of the Sermon on the Mount with a confronting but freeing question: Why do we do what we do?In Matthew 6, Jesus addresses giving, prayer, and fasting not as public performances, but as acts of devotion shaped in the secret place. He warns against spiritual performance and invites us into a deeper, quieter righteousness where God sees the heart, not the mask.This week, we’re reminded that the reward of prayer and fasting is not recognition, breakthrough, or applause but more of God Himself. As we continue this fast, may we learn again what it means to decrease, so that Christ may increase.
