MATTEUS 6:17-18

In this plan, you and your children will explore four spiritual disciplines: fasting, meditation, studying Scripture, and worship. You’ll be encouraged to have honest conversations about the challenges of practicing these disciplines, and through engaging, thought-provoking activities, you’ll begin to view them as privileges rather than chores. Each day includes a prayer prompt, brief Scripture reading and explanation, hands-on activity, and discussion questions.

Matteus 6 vorm deel van Jesus se Bergpredikasie en fokus op die innerlike motiewe agter godsdienstige praktyke. In hierdie hoofstuk leer Jesus dat ware geregtigheid nie gaan oor uiterlike vertoon nie, maar oor opregte gehoorsaamheid voor God, selfs (en veral) as niemand kyk nie. Hierdie leesplan van vier dae help jou om Matteus 6 deeglik te verstaan: wat dit beteken om voor God te leef, nie vir die goedkeuring van mense nie; en hoe ware geestelike volwassenheid in die verborge plek gevorm word.
