Episode notes
Reward Is Knowing God Not Human Applause
- Jesus warns against turning spiritual disciplines into performances and says the true reward is knowing God himself.
- Pastor Joby contrasts Pharisaical showiness (trumpet-like giving, loud prayers) with secret devotion that pleases the Father.
Staff Member Who Loves Being Unseen
- Jonathan shares a staff member who enjoys unseen work like setting up chairs and prefers serving without recognition.
- Joby uses this to illustrate genuine wiring that resists praise and values hidden service.
Practical Guide To Tithe Offerings And Gifts
