Peace and Blessings! Playing catch up from our Feb 23rd session....Here's the Take Home info...
KEY VERSE
“Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1)
FAITH STORY Matthew 6:1–7:29
FAITH FOCUS
Jesus says religious practices such as giving to the poor, praying, and fasting are for God, not for public recognition. In a series of rigorous ethical teachings, he also puts money and worry in their places. He concludes by providing pointers on how to stay on course on the rocky, but ultimately satisfying, road with God.
SESSION GOAL
Show youth, who constantly seek approval, that doing the right thing is not so much about how people see us but how God sees us.
