It’s common to feel frustrated about prayer. When we feel like God isn’t answering or we don’t feel heard, many of us just give up. In this message from Matthew 6, Pastor Philip Miller explains three modes of praying: two that never work, and the only way that will. Let’s orient our hearts towards God as He intends for us to pray.

The original word for hypocrite means actor or stage player. Jesus uses this word, hypocrite, to call out religious fakery. In this message from Matthew 5–6, Pastor Philip Miller shows us three dynamics of religious hypocrisy: its profile, the tyranny of applause, and the freedom of secrecy. What if we allowed the quiet smile of heaven to eclipse the thunderous applause of others?
