Summary
We could do the right thing for the wrong reasons. What is your “why”? In Matthew 6, we learn how to glorify God with a pure faith believing in Him.
Fake faith gives to be honored by others
Fake faith performs prayers
Fake faith sacrifices to appear spiritual
Life Group Discussion:
Do you give for God’s glory or man’s glory? Where do you need to be challenged?
When you are praying with others, is it easy for you to just talk to God or do you get distracted on what you are going to pray in the presence of others?
Is the “why” you fast because you want to appear spiritual to others? What is your motive?

| 0:00.0 | Eric's Creek, how we doing? Let's go. Let's go. So July is the anniversary of my father going to be |
| 0:08.4 | with Jesus. And so my mom invited us on a cruise. You can go on a cruise any time throughout the year, |
| 0:15.6 | but we strategically chose a time that the hurricane was headed straight for us the entire time. And so it was, |
| 0:22.7 | it was pretty wild. You know, you got some added adventure there on the boat. And my kids were |
| 0:29.6 | so, and so we were going to pivot last minute, but the kids were just so committed. They had |
| 0:35.2 | never been on a cruise. We were like, okay, you know, Lord protect us. |
| 0:39.3 | And we get on there. And so there's a promenade. A promenade is like the floor. It's like a mall. |
| 0:44.4 | And there's all of these stores and restaurants on this giant ship in the ocean. And so it's just |
| 0:50.3 | like if you're an 11-year-old boy, like my son Weston, just eyes big. This is amazing. Every day they would pull out these watches right into the middle of the promenade that you'd have to walk by for sale. And he likes watches, you know, and that's kind of his thing right now in this season. He's taken an interest in watches. So every day he would wake up and he would want to go down there and |
| 1:11.5 | look at the watches. So every day we'd go look at the watches like, Dad, can I buy one? And I'd be like, |
| 1:15.8 | no. And so we have one, you know, port day. We're going to Cozumel. And so we get to Cozumel |
| 1:23.3 | and we go to the beach there in Mexico. and there's all of these shops along the beach, |
| 1:30.7 | you know, like they're to sell flip-flops and t-shirts and shot glasses, you know. |
| 1:36.7 | And so we go in one of those stores because we're running low on shot glasses. |
| 1:42.2 | And so, not really, that's a joke. |
| 1:44.9 | And so we go in there and we're looking around and he's like, dad, just what? |
| 1:51.0 | And I'm like, what? |
| 1:51.5 | He goes, they sell Rolexes here. |
| 1:56.3 | And I was like, you know, we look and I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, those are fake. |
| 2:00.4 | He's like, how do you know? And I'm like, because they're on a beach in Mexico and they're $50, you know. And he goes, but how do you know? And I'm like, buddy, don't trust me, those are fake. They're not real. He goes, yeah, yeah, yeah. But how do you know? And he raises |
| 2:20.1 | an interesting point because I think so often, you know, we would just assume if it's real or fake |
| 2:26.1 | based on the context. Like you might go to a jewelry store that you trust and buy a Rolex without |
