Can You Keep A Secret?—by Jacques Genis
July 3, 2023
Sermon summary:
Matthew 6:1-8, 16-18 Secrets to keep are our secret world of righteousness (giving, fasting, praying). Our motivation must be pure and give glory to God, not ourselves.
Ask yourself: Who will be glorified by what I'm doing?
Secrets not to keep include temptation and sin--A secret world of concealment of sin. Psalm 32: 1-5 Don't care more about your repuration than righteousness. Read Psalm 51 together with Psalm 32. Wrestle to keep your keart soft, be honest, vulnerable and radically open with your life.
God sees everything done in secret.

A lesson about prayer, how our prayers come before God like bowls of incense.
Biblical justice calls us to more than punishment—it demands mercy, righteousness, and action. See others as loved by God and help the voiceless thrive.
True righteousness is justice in practice: following Jesus by seeking what is right, defending the vulnerable, and restoring dignity to those around us.
