Sermon on the Mount | Hypocrites, Rewards, Father

Pastor Marcus addresses the issue of hypocrisy, particularly within the church, emphasizing many people are turned away from Christianity due to the actions of hypocritical believers. He introduces a deeper understanding of hypocrisy as doing the right things for the wrong reasons, highlighting the importance of motivations behind our actions. Marcus warns that performing good deeds for recognition can lead to spiritual emptiness, urging the congregation to evaluate their intentions. He concludes by contrasting the relationship with God as a loving Father rather than a transactional boss, emphasizing that true rewards come from a genuine connection with Him, not from seeking approval from others.
