No Showboating

   Part 3

     Thousands thrilled with miracle healings...and the teacher is not through with them yet. They are gathered on the hillside.

     "Be careful not to do your acts of righteousness before men...to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. Do not let your left hand know what you right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret.  Then your Father will reward you." 

     "When you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father. Your Father knows what you need before you ask him."

     "If you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. If you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

     "When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do. Wash your face so it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting."  

     "Do not store up treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up treasures in heaven. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. No one can serve two masters. You can't serve God and money."

"Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming." - Ephesians 5:14
