Are you hungry for deeper connection with God, or are your spiritual practices merely a performance for others? In her sermon, Elisabeth explores the powerful teachings of Jesus from the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing that true righteousness isn't about outward piety but the alignment of our hearts with God. This message is an urgent reminder that our spiritual practices should draw us closer to God rather than seeking applause from those around us.
