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.

The Golden Rule, Matthew 7:12 by The Chapel Port Clinton Campus
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
Here's the "scary" passage where Jesus tells people who (some say) thought they had it made but weren't known by Jesus on Judgment Day. What does it mean, and should it scare us? Have a listen!

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Matthew 7 "Rabbi"
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

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

20250904-"How Do We Live"- Scripture: Matthew 7: 24-27-3/4- Pastor John Picarello by That KEVIN Show
To finish out chapter 7 of Matthew with this lesson, Dr. Mitchell begins with verse 23. He speaks again of the false prophets. He presents the true and wise criteria for discerning the message of one who preaches and teaches the Scriptures. You can be sure sure it all centers around the Word of God and the Person and Work of Jesus Christ. So, listen carefully for these criteria.Next, looking at verses 24 thru 29, Matthew writes Jesus' words concerning two foundations. Jesus compares two men who built two houses on two different foundations. One built on the rock, the other built on the sand. Which stands the storms of life in this world? Is it Jesus Christ and the Word of God? Which foundation are you building on? Is it firm, stable and unmovable or is it moving, shifting and unstable? Here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast is Dr. Mitchell, Matthew 7:23-29.
Dive deep into Matthew 7:13-14 with Jon Rhoades on Biblically Literate Episode 4! Discover what Jesus really meant by "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few." As the Children and Family Minister at First Christian Church in Brazil, Indiana, Jon unpacks the Sermon on the Mount in its original context, connecting it to the broader story of Scripture like Deuteronomy 30:15-20, Psalms 1, Proverbs' Lady Wisdom vs Lady Folly, Isaiah 59:7-8, and Zephaniah 3:3.Explore key biblical concepts: the Golden Rule, Law and Prophets, fulfilling the Law, remazim (intentional nods to Old Testament passages), chiastic structure, heart transformation over outward obedience, the way of peace (shalom), false prophets as ravenous wolves, and the paradox of Jesus' easy yoke amid hardship (thlibo meaning affliction). Learn how Jesus critiques Pharisees' superficial righteousness and calls for genuine fruit-bearing faith, echoing James 2:14-17 and Matthew 5:20.Jon draws parallels to stories like the 12 spies in the Promised Land (Joshua and Caleb's faith), Moses' commands, and God's inclusive invitation yet exclusive truth in John 14:6 and Ezekiel 18:32. This isn't just Bible study—it's an invitation to examine your path: Are you on the narrow way of denying self, relying on God, and experiencing eternal rest, or the wide gate of cultural acceptance and destruction?Perfect for anyone seeking to become more Biblically Literate! Whether you're studying God's word, exploring Tanakh connections (Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim), or wrestling with spiritual principles like blessing vs curse, life vs death, this episode reveals God's nature as a holy, merciful Father desiring transformed hearts.Timestamps:0:00 - Intro & KidZone Story (Israelites, 12 Spies, Joshua, Caleb)2:45 - Sermon on the Mount Context (Matthew 5-7, Luke's Sermon on the Plain)5:30 - Golden Rule & Law and Prophets (Matthew 7:12, 5:17)8:15 - Fulfilling the Law: Heart vs Checklist (No Murder/Adultery Expanded)12:00 - Two Paths Tradition (Deuteronomy, Psalms, Proverbs, Remazim)16:20 - Isaiah, Shalom, Jesus' Yoke (Matthew 11:28-30)20:10 - Beatitudes & Persecution (Matthew 5:3-12)23:45 - False Prophets & Fruits (Matthew 7:15-20, Jeremiah 23, Zephaniah)27:30 - Narrow Gate as Jesus Himself (John 14:6, Ezekiel 18:32)30:00 - Application & Closing InvitationSubscribe for more episodes unpacking Scripture in context!

Matthew chapter 7 verses 15 thru 23 takes on a different tone as Jesus presents warnings to those hearing His words. He warns us concerning false prophets. He speaks concerning their disguise, their fruit and their destiny. These false prophets come from among those who are traveling on the wide and broad way. Dr. Mitchell points out that these false prophets and teachers come in among God's people.So, how does one know who these are? Dr. Mitchell shares a number of Scriptures that helps one to discern what is of the truth and who is not. And the fruit of their words and their deeds leads one to ask: Does that one know Jesus as their savior.You can be assured that Jesus Christ, who is the truth, will be the deciding factor in one's discernment of the true and the false as Dr. Mitchell tells us on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 7:15-23.
Matthew chapter 7 begins with Jesus dealing with judging others before examining oneself. One's perspective in seeing is the difference between seeing a plank or a splinter. Dr. Mitchell then takes up the attitude the believer should have toward the unbeliever in sharing precious truth that they wouldn't understand. In verses 7 through 11, Jesus speaks to us about the Father's desire to give good gifts to his children. We who know the Lord can be assured that God does answer our prayers. Are you a child of God through faith in Jesus Christ?Dr. Mitchell then takes up the verses having to do with the golden rule and then teaches on the two ways. One way is Broad and leads to destruction the other is narrow and leads to life. Here is Dr. Mitchell with the way to life on the Unchanging Word Bible broadcast, Mt. 7:1-14.
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.
Today, we'll be in Matthew 7:16-18 talking about the unique fruit God designed for you.“You can identify them by their fruit, that is, by the way they act… A good tree produces good fruit, and a bad tree produces bad fruit. A good tree can't produce bad fruit, and a bad tree can't produce good fruit.” Matthew 7:16-18Ridgecrest exists to reach the lost, build the believer, and connect the people of God to the mission and purpose of God.

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.
