Pastor Rob Davis: Matt. 6:1-8, 6-18
In Matthew 6:1-8; 16-18 Jesus warns us not to be hypocrites (that is, outwardly worshiping God while inwardly having wrong motives) by giving three examples of how to worship God and be seen & rewarded by God rather then be seen and honored by men:
- When you give, do not give with a fanfare, seeking the honor of men, but rather give in secret (vs. 1-4).
- When you pray, do not pray with many words and in order to be seen by men, but rather pray in secret (vs. 5-8).
- When you fast, do not neglect your appearance, so as to be noticed by men, but rather fast in secret (vs. 16-18).

Pastor Rob Davis: Matt. 5:43-48
In Matthew 5:43-48 Jesus continues to challenge the external righteousness of the Pharisees by teaching three truths about our relationship with our adversaries.
- The original command is changed (v. 43).
- The original command is explained.
- Love your enemies (v. 44a).
- Pray for your persecutors (v. 44b).
- The original command applied.
- By living this way you will prove yourselves to be true sons of our loving and merciful Father (v. 45).
- By living this way you will exceed the love shown by other men and show others the love of your Father (v. 46-47).
- By living this way you will be more like your heavenly Father, Who is perfect (v. 48).
