Our Sermon on the Mount devotional series continues with Part 9: Who Are You Trying To Please?, written by Jill Partis.
Jesus has a remarkable way of moving beyond appearances and speaking directly to the heart.
This next devotional invites us into one of those deeply personal places.
It’s easy to focus on outward faithfulness—what we do, how we serve, how we appear to others—but Jesus asks a much more searching question: What is driving it all?
Are our actions shaped by genuine love for God… or by a quiet desire to be noticed, affirmed, or approved?
This reflection gently explores the subtle pull of people-pleasing, performance, and the hidden motivations that can quietly shape our walk with God.
A thoughtful and honest heart check as we continue our journey through the Sermon on the Mount.
Join us tomorrow.
