Matthew 6.1-6 What is your reason for serving? How public is our faith in Jesus? When should our faith be public or visible? The danger is not that we do things that people know about, but that we do things so that people focus on us. Who is praised by your service? Your reason or motivation to serve, as a follower of Jesus, is your love for God and/or your love for people. You either honor God, or you honor you.
