Cornelius Van Til once stated, "Unless we press the crown rights of the King in every realm we shall not retain them in any realm." This morning we look at Jesus' familiar but needed instruction on three areas: giving, prayer, and fasting. Jesus gave this instruction not merely so that His followers would think themselves to be holy and special people. He gave this instruction so that they would be prepared for the great spiritual battles He was preparing them to fight. And so we must consider the seriousness of Jesus' words to us. His words are not just for the super spiritual – they are for all those who seek to follow our Lord, young and old alike. Jesus calls you to see the danger of giving, prayer, and fasting, as well as the true motivation for doing these things for kingdom gain. We will look at verses Matthew 6:1-6 and 16-18 in three parts. 1. The Danger of Doing Things to Be Seen by Others (v. 1) 2. Jesus' Instruction on Giving, Prayer, and Fasting (v. 2-6, 16-18) 3. The True Motivation for Giving, Prayer, and Fasting (v. 18)
