Lesson Overview
Biblical Passage: Matthew 6:1–4
Supporting Passages: Romans 12:3–8
Memory Verse: Matthew 6:1Biblical Truth: God knows the true motivations of those who serve.
Context: This is the fifth lesson from the Sermon on the Mount, and it focuses on Jesus’ teaching that our motivation is an important part of service to others. As with many of His other teachings, the idea of secret giving was countercultural in Jesus’ day. Followers of Christ incorporate these two radical Kingdom principles in their lives: they choose to serve others, and they choose to seek God’s rewards instead of people’s praise.
Learning Goals:
Students will understand that godly service is done with the motive of pleasing God rather than receiving praise.
Students will apply their understanding of godly service by evaluating their own motives for doing good deeds.
