Sermon: “The Disciples’ Prayer” from Dan Mitchum

In The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness, Timothy Keller describes the human ego as empty, painful, busy, and fragile. We chase validation in all the wrong ways – always striving, always comparing, always needing to be seen. This week in Matthew 6, Jesus turns our attention to the heart behind our actions. He invites us to examine our motives—especially in our practices of spiritual devotion— calling us to serve and seek God from a place of love, not self-promotion. Join us as we learn together what it means to pursue the Lord with a humble and authentic heart.

Scripture References: Matthew 6:1-6, Matthew 6:16-18
