In this episode of Vine Abiders, Chris begins the next section of the Sermon on the Mount, exploring Matthew 6:1–6 and Jesus’ command to practice righteousness in secret. What does it mean to give, pray, and fast in a way that pleases God rather than seeking the praise of people? Chris unpacks the often-overlooked sin of vainglory, explains why Jesus emphasizes secrecy in spiritual disciplines, and explores the Bible’s surprising and repeated teaching about rewards—both in heaven and in this life. This episode examines how our motives shape our spiritual lives and why believing that God “rewards those who seek Him” is central to authentic Christian faith.
