Jesus and Your Audience

A Sermon Based on Matthew 6:1-6, 16-18

This sermon, preached on the occasion of Ash Wednesday, moves through Jesus’ portrayals over various actors: the prayer, the faster, and the giver. It seeks to show the listener how and why we often play to the wrong audience as they did. It then moves the listener onto a different stage before a different audience. It seeks to make the unseen seen and make the listener an actor who plays to the only audience that has ever mattered.
