Teaching A hen gathers her chicks together

God cares about what's really in our hearts - He wants us to be truly kind and humble, not just show-offs on the outside.

The leaders wanted to look holy on the outside. Why does God care more about our hearts than about how we look?
Jesus said don't do good things just to show off. What's the difference between being kind to help someone and being kind to get attention?
Jesus said the humble will be lifted up. Why do you think God loves a humble heart?
