Stress Test | Sun Valley Daily Devotional

In today’s devotional, Kari Powell, our Gilbert Campus Next Steps Pastor reflects on Matthew 6:2-4, where Jesus challenges us to examine the motives behind our generosity. Just as a stress test reveals the health of our physical heart, acts of private generosity can reveal the state of our spiritual heart. Jesus warns against seeking praise from others, urging us instead to give selflessly and in secret. This practice helps align our hearts with genuine love and builds a deeper connection with God.

We believe that everybody matters to God. No matter who you are, what you’ve done, what's been done to you - God loves you just as you are. God has demonstrated this love by meeting us right where we are through the person of Jesus and by giving His life on the cross to pay the debt of sin that we couldn’t pay ourselves. When we couldn’t work our way to God, God worked his way to us through the person of Jesus. In light of the incredible gift, we exist to help people meet, know and follow Jesus.
