All That Jesus Taught (Bible Study – 21 of 80) - Zac Poonen
Summary
The speaker continues the study of what Jesus taught, focusing on Matthew 6, where Jesus addresses wrong attitudes regarding giving, praying, and fasting. He emphasizes that these acts of righteousness should be done secretly before God, not for human recognition, lest one receive no reward from the Father. The speaker also critiques the modern emphasis on tithing, arguing that the New Covenant establishes principles of giving that are secret, cheerful, and proportionate, rather than being bound by Old Covenant laws.

Furthermore, the sermon cautions against adhering to Old Covenant practices, such as mandatory tithing, stressing that the New Covenant emphasizes freedom and grace.
