Dewey Faith Assembly of God 's Podcast PodPoint

Serving God is an experience in life. God knows who we are, of what we have need, and He knows what lies ahead. Believers in Jesus Christ are to put their total trust and faith in God.

Jesus gives three spiritual disciplines for Christians to experience. Each of these are to be done properly so we can be rewarded by God. He does not want us to be a hypocrite-a person who pretends to have virtues, moral or religious beliefs, principles, etc. that he or she does not actually possess esp. a person whose actions belie stated beliefs. Jesus desires obedience in these disciplines.

Jesus continues speaking to the disciples and now gives them the reason for living better than the Pharisees do. He begins with "You have heard" but turns it around and says, "But I say." Jesus intends for us to listen to Him so we may live a better life than religious people.
