Matthew 7:15-17

Isaiah 55:1-2, 6-7 | Psalm 34:1-8 | James 1:2-8 | Matthew 7:7-11

It is time this very minute to pray and seek God. Time to set our timers and pray for the minute. This podcast encourages us to stop for a minute and, now, in the presence of our Heavenly Father—with praise and prayer—worship Him in Jesus' name and in the power of the Holy Spirit. ———— *We do not own the rights to music played on this podcast.

Mark Winner discusses Matthew 7:1-2—“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Life can feel like a maze. Everyone's trying to figure out which path actually leads somewhere good—but what if what feels right isn't right at all? In this episode, Isaac explores why trusting God can be so hard, especially when what we see seems safer than what He promises. If you've ever questioned whether faith actually works in real life—or if God's way is really better—this one's for you.

Matthew 7 by Lynnelle Pierce

What would be the "speck" in Jesus' eye? Throughout the sermon on the mount, we've seen that everything is about Jesus. But how can we have other applications from other than just "we need Jesus because he fulfills it, he's the only that's righteous."? Mat 7:21-23 how does this go with Romans 10:9 if you declare Jesus is Lord and believe God raised him from the dead you will be saved? Do the false prophets not believe the second part? Can Matt 7:21-23 be applied to Christians now? I have heard many preachers express anxiety at these verses that people may not be true followers? Is this a valid thing to feel or is it only applicable to the OT? How can non Christians find wisdom in the Christian cliches if the Bible is foolishness and folly to the NC? How do they understand without the Holy Spirit? Is it helpful for us to ask, seek and knock if we are already saved? If there is one faith (Eph 4:4-6), are pre-cross Jews the same as Christians? How does this relate to Romans 11? Can we ever apply the gospel straight to us? e.g. wise as serpents, innocent as doves

Send me a Text Message!When it comes to prayer, I'm not sure what you are asking for, what you are seeking, or who you are asking Jesus to open the door for, but what if, Jesus message to you in this episode is simply this. Don't quit asking. Don't stop seeking.Keep on knocking." The open door is coming.  Especially don't give up on someone you've been praying for...      Remember, when we pass judgement on someone, what are we doing? We're writing them off. We're giving up on-em. See in Jesus' Kingdom instead of giving up on people, we're gonna pray for people. Instead of writing them off, we're going to lift them up. Instead of telling them they can go to hell...we're gonna ask Jesus to bring heaven to them. Why? Because we want to be part of a move of God that loves people all the way to Jesus and because prayer really matters.

Jesus uses the relationship between a father and son to help his followers more fully understand and engage in the practice of prayer.CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE.You can find us here:www.citychurchboulder.com www.facebook.com/citychurchboulder www.instagram.com/citychurchboulder

Title: LoveScripture Reading: Matthew 22:35-40, Matthew 7:17-20, Matthew 7:13-14Series: The “L” Fruits of JesusWhen observing the lavish lifestyle of a televangelist, it's easy to question the "fruit" of their ministry. Jesus Himself said we would identify people by their fruit. So, what fruit should we expect to see in the life of a disciple?This sermon kicks off a new series, "The 'L' Fruits of Jesus," by focusing on the most foundational fruit: Love. We explore the two critical axes of Christian love. The vertical axis is loving God, which is demonstrated not just by hearing His word, but by our obedience to it. The horizontal axis is loving others, which requires traveling the "narrow road." This difficult path specifically challenges us to love our enemies and to speak the truth in love , even when the world redefines what "truth" and "love" mean.

Send me a Text Message!All my life I have been attracted to the overflow, without walls principles and  stories in the Bible. One of my all time favorite prayers in the Bible is Paul's prayer in Ephesians 3 which ends with these words, "Now to God who is able to do exceedingly abundantly beyond all you ask for or can even imagine." That is sowithout walls! Jesus lived a life without walls; a life where just a touch can heal aheart; a life where forgiveness brings freedom and service brings joy; a life where tombs become wombs for second chances. But in so many ways, we live our lives within walls and end up disconnected from each other, from God and from life. Sometimes we build walls because it seems safe, but it's really just lonely. One of the ways we build walls is when we judge. That's what this one is all about!

Finally, a crowd favorite from Jesus; “Do not judge.” But was Jesus' goal here to simply give us a good self defense verse against critical people? What if Jesus' words give us deeper insight into the hearts we have and the help we need?CITY CHURCH EXISTS TO HELP PEOPLE FIND THEIR WAY TO GOD FROM WHERE THEY ARE.You can find us here:www.citychurchboulder.comwww.facebook.com/citychurchboulder www.instagram.com/citychurchboulder

The Live recording of the 10 am Service at Steadfast Church in Carlsbad, California with Pastor Chris Fik, October 12, 2025.

Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 challenge every believer to examine their faith. Are we truly following Him, or just going through the motions? In this message, Pastor Mitch unpacks what it means to walk the narrow road, discern true spiritual voices, and understand why Jesus warns that not everyone who says “Lord, Lord” will enter the Kingdom.

Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount with a powerful parable about two builders that reveals the difference between wise and foolish living. The wise person both hears Jesus' words and obeys them, building their life on the solid rock of Christ. The foolish person hears the same message but chooses not to obey, building on the unstable sand of human effort and religious activity. Both houses may look similar outwardly, but when the storms of life and ultimate judgment come, only the house built on the rock will stand. True wisdom means seeing life from God's perspective and acting accordingly through faith and obedience to His Word.

Jesus warns against judging others while blind to our own sins. He teaches about the narrow gate that few will find and exposes false prophets who come as wolves in sheep's clothing. The Sermon concludes with two builders: one whose house on rock weathers the storm, another whose house on sand collapses completely. When Jesus finishes, the crowds are astonished because He teaches with authority, unlike their scribes.  The Rev. Ryan Kleimola, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Toledo, OH, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 7:1-29.  To learn more about Trinity Lutheran, visit trinitylutheran.org. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Jesus concludes His Sermon on the Mount with a powerful illustration about two foundations - rock and sand - representing how we build our lives. A firm foundation requires both salvation through relationship with Christ and wisdom through applying God's Word. When storms inevitably come, those built on rock stand firm while those on sand collapse. True faith isn't about religious activities but genuine relationship with Jesus. We can't avoid life's storms, but we can choose our foundation, submitting to Christ's authority in every area of our lives.
