Doing Good in Secret (Matthew 6:1-4) | Joshua West

Published on: 9th April, 2025

What's Your Real Motive for Giving?

In this sermon on Matthew 6:1-4, Pastor Joshua examines Jesus's teaching about "Doing Good in Secret." He explains that while generosity is essential to Christian life, our motives matter deeply to God. True giving flows from gratitude and love, not from seeking recognition or following prosperity formulas.

Key points:

  1. Give from a heart of gratitude for what God has provided
  2. When possible, give in secret to protect your heart from pride
  3. Our reward comes from God, not human recognition
  4. "If we remember when we give, God will forget. But if we forget when we give, God will remember."
  5. We give because we have God's generous heart, not to earn anything
