Hello, everyone. This is Victor Jackson. Welcome to the Bible-centered podcast.

Welcome to another episode of Bible-centered with Victor Jackson.

I want to appreciate each and every one of you for taking time to listen to this podcast

and listen to our series on Matthew.

We start Matthew chapter 6 today.

Give me some feedback.

If you have any questions in the Gospel of Matthew, you can send the question in, whether on social media, Victor M. Jackson on our Instagram, or our website, Bible Center Orlando.com or or through the Spotify that allows you to

ask questions. But I've been excited about breaking down the word of God and I pray that this

has been a blessing to you. So let's get into this.

Matthew chapter 6, verse 1.

Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them.

For then you will not have no reward from your father who is in heaven.

Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you as the hypocrites do in the synagogues

and in the streets that they may be praised by others.

Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

so that your giving may be in secret, and your father who sees in secret will reward you.

And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners that they

may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward, but when you pray, go into

your room and shut the door and pray to your father who is in secret.

And your father who sees in secret will reward you.

And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words.
