In this episode, we move into Matthew 6, where Jesus issues a sharp warning: "Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly."

We open with a story about a man who wouldn't stop interrupting Bible study to make himself look good, and the "spiritual throat punch" it took to silence him. This leads us into a discussion on why doing the right thing for the wrong reason (like "religi-selfies" or the 1,000-penny droppers) costs you your heavenly reward. We also explore a fresh perspective on the command to "not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing"—interpreting the Left Hand as your Logical Side (which makes excuses) and the Right Hand as your Faithful Side (which obeys God).

Key Topics Covered:

The Spiritual Throat Punch: How to deal with people seeking glory in the church.

Watch Out: Why Jesus warns that hypocrisy isn't always obvious.

Trumpets & Selfies: The danger of seeking public applause for your generosity.

Left Hand vs. Right Hand:

Left Hand (Logic): "I have too many bills," "It's too expensive." Logic never sees a miracle.

Right Hand (Faith): "God gave it to me first." Faith lives in the miracle.

Private Rewards: Why no recognition is actually the best recognition you can get.
