When Nobody's Watching | Matthew 6
What does it look like to faithfully follow Jesus when no one else is around? In this week's message from our Sermon on the Mount series, Abbey explores Matthew 6:9-18, where Jesus teaches His disciples about prayer, forgiveness, and fasting. Rather than focusing on outward appearances, Jesus calls us to a life of sincere devotion that begins in the heart.
Prayer starts by putting God's name above our own, while also reminding us that nothing is too small to bring before our Heavenly Father. From daily needs to life's biggest burdens, God invites us into a personal relationship where He hears every prayer and cares deeply for His children.
Jesus also teaches that forgiveness and private faith are marks of Kingdom living. Whether no one notices your obedience or everyone does, your Heavenly Father sees your faithfulness. As you continue through the Sermon on the Mount, be encouraged to pursue Jesus with wholehearted devotion—because the moments that happen when nobody's watching often become the moments God uses most.
