Stop Performing For God | Keys To The Kingdom

March 9, 2026

In Matthew 6, Jesus addresses three core spiritual disciplines: giving, praying, and fasting. But His focus isn’t on outward performance — it’s on the posture of the heart.

In this message from our Keys to the Kingdom series, we explore:

• Why giving, praying, and fasting aren’t religious rituals

• The danger of performing for people instead of living before God

• How empty repetition can replace authentic prayer

• Why these disciplines are invitations into closeness with the Father

Jesus assumes His followers will give, pray, and fast — but He warns us not to turn them into spectacles. These practices aren’t about visibility. They’re about intimacy.

If you’ve ever wondered:

“Am I doing this for God… or for people?”

This message is for you.
