We're starting a new series, Firm Foundations: Standing When the World Shakes. When life feels unstable — political unrest, cultural division, financial uncertainty — where do we stand? What can we trust? What will last? In this lesson, we open Matthew 7:24–27, where Jesus paints a picture: two builders, two foundations, one storm. One house stands. One house falls. The difference? The foundation. In this teaching, we'll explore: Why our foundation matters The reality of life's storms What it means to build on the Rock Practical steps for building a life that lasts Visit us online: https://www.simplyrevised.org Subscribe to our newsletter: https://www.simplyrevised.org/subscribe Support SimplyRevised: https://www.simplyrevised.org/support

Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

Matthew 7:7-11New Living Translation7 “Keep on asking, and you will receive what you ask for. Keep on seeking, and you will find. Keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.9 “You parents—if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? 10 Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! 11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with permission.

In this deeply honest episode, Ash sits down with Lydia to explore the challenges of prayer, faith, and trusting God when life doesn’t make sense. Drawing on Matthew 7:7—“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you”—they unpack what it really means to ask, seek, and knock in a world where answers don’t always come as expected. Lydia shares her personal journey through intense emotional struggles, depression, and anxiety after starting a new chapter in Australia. She reflects on the moments she felt abandoned, frustrated, and tempted to walk away from God—and how she discovered that His grace, mercy, and timing are far bigger than our understanding. Together, Ash and Lydia explore how prayer isn’t just about getting what we want—it’s about encountering God, aligning our hearts with His will, and learning to trust Him through every dark season. This episode is an encouragement for anyone wrestling with unanswered prayers, setbacks, or seasons of doubt, reminding us that God is always present, always listening, and always faithful.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Are you building your life on rock or sand? Jesus warns that identical-looking houses can have drastically different outcomes when storms hit. What's truly beneath the surface of your life? The foundation you choose today determines whether you'll stand or fall tomorrow.

This message is Part 5 of our Walking in Command series at Mosaic Church. Pastor Anthony Daley teaches on the importance of accountability in the Christian walk — why you can't do faith alone and why every believer needs a battle buddy. Drawing from John 14:15, Matthew 7:1–5, 2 Samuel 12, Psalm 51, and 1 Corinthians 5, this sermon explores what Jesus meant by “judge not,” how to live out God's commands together, and how to walk in grace and truth within community.
Today as we finish our study in the Sermon on the Mount, we look at Matthew 7 which contains some of the most famous passages in the entire Bible.

Jesus presents us with two paths in life: the wide gate leading to destruction and the narrow gate leading to eternal life. The wide gate offers no boundaries or restrictions, while the narrow gate requires self-denial and making Jesus the center of your life. On this difficult but worthwhile journey, we need guidance from true leaders who consistently point to God's Word and Son. The mark of an authentic disciple isn't impressive religious works but wholehearted devotion to Christ. We must choose wisely, as our eternal destiny depends on it.

“Ask, Knock, Receive” - a lesson on the importance of prayer as a means of receiving the sustaining, nourishing grace that we need for the Christian life. Music: “Ask…Receive…Reflect” Lyrics by Toby Logsdon, performed by Crimson Covenant, ©Toby Logsdon, 2025
Jesus closed out this section of teaching with three illustrations, three choices that lie before us. The first is the path of our lives. Jesus is so often talked about as being a great teacher. Passages like this make us face both the inclusivity and exclusivity of his teaching. Everyone is welcome. Anyone can come into the narrow gate to the narrow path that is hard and leads to life. But it is only by Jesus that we can come to salvation and life. Tomorrow we will see the calling of Jesus to every one of us, and what it looks like to walk the path he lays out for us. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store

When Jesus said 'Judge not,' was he really telling us never to make moral judgments? Discover what this often-misquoted verse actually means and how it connects to discernment, prayer, and loving others. Are you seeing the log in your own eye before pointing out the speck in someone else's?

A.W. Tozer said in his book, Knowledge of the Holy, “What comes to mind when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Matthew 7:7-12 draws our attention to our relationship with God Himself. We will explore what it means to ask, seek, and knock. We will wrestle with the question of why we pray, or whether it is even worth it to pray. We will see that Tozer's observation is true. What we think about God shapes our perspectives and our lives, and impacts how we understand justice and how we relate to others around us.
