Podcasts about Matthew 7

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.

It is our prayer that today's word would encourage and challenge to walk out your faith in Jesus, shine brightly in darkness and experience Kingdom impact in all you do! Stay connected with Belmont Church on our Facebook page, website or on the Church Center App.

We are still reading through Matthew's account of the Sermon on the Mount, and in today's reading, we begin with what might be one of the most abused quotes in Scripture, which is, “Do not judge, so that you won't be judged.” Often people think the first part is the most important part, and they use it to tell others not to judge them. Jesus' point however is to alert his hearers to hypocritical judgment, calling out the small sins of others while you are dealing with massive sin yourself. What's more, in this same chapter, Jesus tells his hearers to be on guard against false prophets, which would most assuredly require discernment and judgment. The Sermon on the Mount concludes at the end of today's reading. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In this message from Matthew 7:7–11, Pastor Mitch unpacks Jesus’ words about asking, seeking, and knocking. God the Father is not distant—He is good, generous, and always attentive to His children. Discover what it means to approach Him with childlike trust, how our desires are shaped by abiding in Him, and why He gives us not everything we want, but everything we truly need.

How is your prayer life? How do you view your relationship with God? These two questions are closely connected. When we come to know God as our Father, our pursuit of him in prayer radically changes.

Matthew 7:24-29 NLT (from the Archive)"Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. [25] Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds beat against that house, it won't collapse because it is built on bedrock. [26] But anyone who hears my teaching and doesn't obey it is foolish, like a person who builds a house on sand. [27] When the rains and floods come and the winds beat against that house, it will collapse with a mighty crash." [28] When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, [29] for he taught with real authority-quite unlike their teachers of religious law.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with permission.

Have you ever noticed that life is made up of decisions? Decisions reveal the inner nature of a person. People make decisions based on conditioning that is determined by their goals and priorities.. We are responsible for our own decisions, but we are also accountable to God.  Jesus presents three very significant contrasts in Matthew 7:13-21. They are:  1.      The broad way  and the narrow way.2.      Bad fruit and good fruit.3.      Doing and failing to do the will of God.  The first contrast-the narrow way and the broad way-is a contrast between the abundant life which Jesus offers and the way of selfishness, which has no restraints. Jesus consistently teaches how hard it is to follow Him. The two gates in verses 13-14 represent every person's choice: Following Jesus or following any other path. Only the more difficult, less-chosen gate to follow Christ leads to life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.

Jesus's teaching in Matthew 7:1-14 challenges us to examine our hearts regarding judgment and discernment. He warns against harsh, hypocritical judgment while encouraging proper self-examination before helping others. Jesus uses the vivid imagery of logs and specks to illustrate our tendency to criticize in others what we struggle with ourselves. He balances this with the call to be discerning, teaching us to pray persistently to our loving heavenly Father. The passage culminates in the Golden Rule and the stark choice between the narrow gate leading to life and the wide gate leading to destruction.

Fr. Mike reads the Sermon on the Mount and explains how Jesus' teachings powerfully fulfill the old testament law, and identify the broken human heart as the source of our sinful actions. We learn that Jesus himself is the remedy to our sins, and that the secret to holiness is living in the perfect will of God. Today's readings are Matthew 5-7, and Proverbs 18:21-24.

Join CJ Muston in this powerful kickoff to the "Building Your Faith" series at Worship Uncoiled, delivered on September 14, 2025. Drawing from Matthew 7:24-27, CJ unpacks the parable of the wise builder who constructs a house on bedrock versus the fool on sand, urging us to create a strong, resilient, useful faith that lasts through life's storms. Through personal stories of building chicken coops, turkey structures, and greenhouses, CJ illustrates how we must first clear out shaky beliefs, loose soil, and unstable ideas—like transactional love from Jesus or limiting connection to daily Bible reading checklists—to dig down to bedrock foundations. Explore how Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount challenge us to examine our practices, embrace unconditional love, connect deeper beyond routines, and love others as our final commandment. Whether you're in middle school, high school, or college, this message empowers you to make your faith your own, forgive freely, and build on the firm foundation of Jesus Christ.

The passage this week is the final of three binary alternatives that Jesus laid out – two paths, two trees, and now two houses. More accurately, the focus is two foundations. Every one of us is building something in our lives. We have an ultimate telos, or goal, that underlies our work, relationships, and efforts. We spend a lot of our time focusing on how we are building and what we are building. Jesus looks straight past that aspect of life, though, and points us to consider the foundation of our lives. What is it that provides the basis for our lives? How can we know whether we are building on bedrock or on the sand? In a week that has shaken many foundations, we will look to the firm foundation that is available in Jesus Christ alone. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

"Ask, Seek, Knock" (Matthew 7:7-11) by The Chapel Sandusky Campus

This Sunday we will continue our series in the Sermon on the Mount with Matthew 7:15-23. It's the second of three choices that we face as Jesus closed this section of teaching. We left off with a choice between Two Paths, with two gates, roads, crowds and destinations. This Sunday we see Two Trees. It's a warning to beware of false prophets and those who play around with spirituality and religion, and to watch to see the fruit of someone's life and ministry because we will only know trees by their fruit. It's a pretty scary warning to all of us who follow Jesus and who are exploring what it means to follow Jesus. There is also great hope. ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠
