Greater Than: Fierce Devotion

Pastor Jayson Workman

Matthew 6:16-18

August 7, 2022

Introduction:

John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

The secret to something greater is a fierce devotion to God.

Confrontation of character (v. 16)

Their pursuit of REPUTATION was a choice to forfeit their REWARD.

CHARACTER > reputation

Pretending to be religious isn’t the same as pursuing Jesus.

Cost of compromise (v. 16)

Compromised motives will compromise your reward.

Calling to communion (vv. 17–18)

Do you have a religious reputation or a real relationship with Jesus?

Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith. . . .

A heart fiercely devoted is determined to remove distractions.
