Don't Fall For It

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

In a world driven by instant gratification—where Cookie Monster’s motto, "see cookie, want cookie, eat cookie,” defines our impulses—Jesus invites us into a countercultural practice that transforms hunger into holy purpose. Join Wolfgang for a compelling exploration of fasting out of Matthew 6, where he unpacks how this ancient spiritual discipline isn’t about deprivation but discovering a deeper appetite for God’s presence. Through humor and practical insights, learn how fasting exposes the cravings beneath our cravings, redirecting our hunger toward the One who truly satisfies. Whether you’re new to fasting or seasoned in spiritual practices, this sermon offers fresh perspective on surrendering control, embracing dependence, and finding joy in feasting on God’s grace. Ready to trade temporary fixes for eternal nourishment? Press play and hunger for something more.
