About this series
What if the biggest scams in your life aren’t from strangers, but the lies you believe every day? This Lent, dive into part of Jesus’ radical Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 6) to unmask the deceptions that keep us trapped: chasing approval through Instagram-perfect lives, hoarding money for false security, serving for applause, and crumbling under fear of tomorrow. From viral romance scams to sleepless nights over bills, we’ll expose how the world’s promises leave us empty—and how Jesus offers a better way.
Each week, we’ll confront a new lie head-on, replacing it with liberating truth. Discover why storing “treasures in heaven” frees you from financial anxiety, how praying in secret reshapes your purpose, and why worrying less starts with trusting more. Through gritty stories, practical disciplines, and Jesus’ upside-down wisdom, this series isn’t just about resisting temptation—it’s about reclaiming your soul.
Whether you’re exhausted by comparison, shackled by debt, or paralyzed by 'what-ifs,' “Don’t Fall for It” invites you to trade performance for peace, greed for generosity, and fear for faith. Lent is the perfect season to detox from the world’s lies—and this is your roadmap. Come hungry for freedom. You won’t leave the same.
About this message
What does an $850,000 Instagram scam have to do with your daily struggle for approval? In this eye-opening message, Pastor Scotty unpacks how our hunger for validation—whether through likes, accolades, or hiding our flaws—leaves us vulnerable to deception and discontent. Jesus’ warning in Matthew 6:1 (“Be careful not to perform for applause”) becomes a lifeline as we confront modern-day hypocrisy: the pastor who craves sermon claps, the parent obsessed with “perfect” kids, and you.
You’ll walk away with two game-changing phrases: “I don’t care what you think” and “I deeply care what God thinks.” Learn how anonymous generosity, embracing an “audience of One,” and surrendering your need for recognition can unshackle your soul. Through real stories and biblical truth, discover why God’s approval—proven on the cross—is the only validation that never fades. Stop performing. Start living. Your freedom begins here.
