Podcasts about Matthew 18

In Don't Write Back, Sam Fleury teaches from Matthew 5:7 on what it means to be merciful. This message explores why we often want justice for others and mercy for ourselves, how grace and mercy are different, and how followers of Jesus are called to forgive, release revenge, and live with active compassion.

Temptation promises life but delivers death.So, we pray, “Lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.”

The previous chapter shows the clear contrast between the blinding glory of Jesus Christ and the helplessness and hopelessness of the crowds and disciples. And yet, as we begin chapter 18, we catch the disciples asking who will be greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. Like everything else in Jesus' teaching, the answer is completely different than anything we could expect. On Sunday we will see what true greatness is, what it looks like in our lives, and how to get it. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

20 Proverbs 23-24; 1 Kings 16-20; 19 Psalms119 1-88; 19 Psalms 120-122; 40 Matthew 18-21

The sermon centers on Jesus' radical redefinition of greatness within the kingdom of heaven, contrasting worldly ambition with divine humility. Drawing from Matthew 18:1–9, it emphasizes that true greatness is not found in status, achievement, or self-promotion, but in childlike humility—recognizing one's dependence on God, rejecting pride, and embracing a posture of service. The passage challenges believers to reject comparison, self-sufficiency, and favoritism, instead welcoming the lowly and vulnerable as Christ himself, since such humility reflects the nature of God and imitates Christ's own self-emptying sacrifice. The sermon warns that pride leads to spiritual ruin, while humility, modeled by Jesus, leads to exaltation, and calls the church to live in mutual care, protecting one another from sin and fostering a community rooted in grace and self-denial.

The Gospel of Matthew is a wonderful book, the first text in the New Testament, which gives us an exciting shift from the prophecies of the Old Testament to the fulfillment of those very prophecies in the person of Jesus. You are sure to be equipped and inspired as Jesus Himself shares about the hope we have, gives practical lessons for how to live life the way God intended, shows the love of God through miracles and healings, and makes a way for you to be reconciled to God for all eternity.  Join Jerry as he dives into Matthew and walks us through the life, ministry and profound teachings of Jesus.

Jesus gives instructions on the methodology of church discipline and on the importance of forgiveness.

Matthew 18

May 24, 2026 - Forgiveness from the Heart - Matthew 18:1-35 - Scott Carlin by First Baptist Cullman

As followers of Christ, we will face challenges with one another. Sometimes, those difficulties can even stem from unaddressed sin in our own lives or in the lives of others. Yet too often, we choose to remain silent instead of responding in love and truth. That's why, in today's message, Pastor Richard urges us to stay grounded in the Word of God and to handle every situation with both grace and wisdom, walking in love and forgiveness.

As we go through this world, we can end up alone, sometimes by circumstance, and other times by our own choices. But when we follow Jesus and accept Him into our hearts, He doesn't call us to isolation, waiting for the end of the world. He calls us to be the salt of the earth and ambassadors of Christ in the world. That's why, in today's message, Pastor Richard encourages you to find a Bible-believing church and stay in fellowship with other followers of Christ.

TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible, where we journey together through the pages of Scripture each day. On this first day of May, day 122 of our adventure, Hunter leads us through readings from First Chronicles 14 and 15, Psalm 132, and Matthew 18. Today's episode explores David's victories and preparations for the Ark of the Covenant, the promise God made to David in the Psalms, and Jesus' teaching on forgiveness and humility in the Kingdom of Heaven. We'll reflect on the transforming power of mercy and the invitation to a generous heart—and spend time together in prayer for our families and the world. Join Hunter as we listen, reflect, and begin a new day grounded in God's love and grace. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The King is merciful, but the debtor is not. His debt has been paid in full. Mercy has been shown to him, yet this man will not show mercy to others. Why is he behaving this way? Why is his heart not changed by the mercy of the King? Why is he so desperate to collect from others now that he himself is debt free? Maybe it's because he resents the King. The heart of the flesh never wants to admit its debt. When the debt is pointed out, and even when it is forgiven, the heart doesn't receive it as such. The heart of the flesh is still trying to pay back and earn, to rid itself of the shame by extracting it from others. The debtor wants to free himself of the shame. He is desperate never to be in that position again. But the heart that is ready to receive mercy is evidenced by the desire to offer mercy. It realizes the debt was too great and there was no way to ever repay it. The King has absorbed the loss because of his generous heart, and this is true for you and me too. King Jesus has absorbed the loss, the debt — he took on the insurmountable debt on Calvary's mountain, and he said, "forgiven." We can never collect enough from others to pay back what we owe. We must simply receive from the generous heart of the King. That's it. And when we do, we're changed by his loving, forgiving, and merciful heart. And we can, and we must, offer the same heart of generosity to others, forgiving the debts of others as we ourselves have been forgiven. Today, let's live with that generosity of heart, for we have been forgiven. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image.

What does it look like to truly forgive when the hurt runs deep? In this message from the Gospel of Matthew 18:21–35, Jesus challenges us to move beyond keeping score and into a life of real, from-the-heart forgiveness. As we see the depth of God's mercy toward us, we're invited to extend that same mercy to others. Forgiven people forgive. The question is—have we truly grasped how much we've been forgiven?
