Giving Up

What if the life Jesus invites us into isn’t about having more — but giving up what is ruining us?

Matthew 6 is Jesus’ manifesto on a different kind of life. A life where we stop performing faith and start practicing love. A life where generosity matters more than reputation, simplicity matters more than status, and trust matters more than control. A life where the point of faith isn’t building our own little kingdoms — but seeking God’s.

In Giving Up, we walk line by line through Matthew 6 and rediscover the practices that free us:

11/16 Giving up the need to be seen by choosing compassion over performance.

11/23 Giving up the fear of not having enough by rediscovering daily bread in a world that actually has a distribution problem, not a provision problem.

11/30 Giving up consumerism by fasting from the things that fill our hands but starve our souls.

12/7 Giving up the worship of money by refusing to serve two masters - and refusing to use God as a strategy to get more stuff.

12/14 Giving up anxiety and control by seeking a Kingdom we don’t build with our own accomplishments, but join through trust.

This is not a series about losing. It’s a series about letting go of what never gave life in the first place — so we can finally grasp the life Jesus said was possible.

In a world obsessed with more, Jesus invites us to discover the freedom in giving up.
