    Sermon on the Mount: A Call to Action // Matthew 7:13-29 // S7-E6

    Can someone who's cast out demons still be rejected by Jesus?  What does it actually mean for a Christian's day-to-day living when Jesus says His way is "hard"?  How can you make sure you're standing on a firm foundation that won't crumble under the storms of life?  These are some of the final questions Jesus addresses as He closes out the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 7:13-29.  Here Jesus shows us His powerful authority as a teacher, giving us insight into how to walk the way of righteousness and wisdom.  And what He teaches us to do... is to stand firm in Him.  In this episode, you'll discover...  Why just doing great things (and saying they're for God) doesn't mean someone genuinely belongs to Christ  How to spot wolves in sheep's clothing (before they lead you astray)  Why having your firm foundation in Christ means you can withstand anything that comes your way  Scripture passages and verses referenced:  Matthew 7:13-29  1 Corinthians 13  Philippians 3  Hebrews 6  John 14:23  Jeremiah 7  1 John 3:20  Psalm 1  Psalm 31:8  Psalm 16:6  Matthew 6  Matthew 7:1, 7  About Know God Deeply:  This podcast is produced by Precept.

    Sermon on the Mount: Planks and Prayers // Matthew 7:1-12 // S7-E5

    You might have a log in your eye right now and not even realize it... So what can you do about it? That's one issue Jesus addresses in Matthew 7, and then He turns to another topic, making a surprising claim... He says that "everyone who asks receives." So does that mean God will give you EVERYTHING you ask for? Join us as we continue to unpack the Sermon on the Mount and see what Jesus teaches about two key topics: judgmentalism and prayer. What you'll find is that judgmentalism is a very real danger that can poison our hearts as believers... ...and that through prayer, your good and faithful Father brings very real provision to meet your needs. In this episode, you'll discover... ·       What it really MEANS to "judge not" as Jesus commanded ·       Why Jesus compares people to "pigs" and "dogs" ·       How prayer is ultimately about having an abiding relationship with your Father Scripture passages and verses referenced: ·       Matthew 7:1-12 ·       2 Peter 2:22 ·       Matthew 7:16 ·       1 Corinthians 4-5 ·       Matthew 5 ·       Luke 11:5-13 ·       Genesis 2:15-17 ·       James 4:2 ·       Hebrews 11:1 ·       Psalm 34:8  About Know God Deeply: This podcast is produced by Precept.

    A Kingdom of Authenticity // Matthew 6:1-18 // S7-E3

    Doesn't it sometimes just seem impossible NOT to feel like a hypocrite? It's so easy to fall into doing the right things but for the wrong reasons. But Jesus has strong words to say against those who do "spiritual" things like giving, praying, and fasting just for show. Join us as we dive into what Jesus says about living authentically as His followers... Because the reality is, we don't need to be recognized by people for the things we do in this life. After all, the rewards our Heavenly Father gives are of infinitely more value than any recognition the world could ever offer! In this episode, you'll discover... ·         How dangerous it really is to practice righteousness just to be seen by others ·         What it looks like to have a relationship with God that goes DEEP... not just surface-level ·         How to guard your heart against hypocrisy with practical everyday steps  Scripture passages and verses referenced: ·         Matthew 6:1-18 ·         John 1:3-4 ·         Psalm 51:10-12 About Know God Deeply: This podcast is produced by Precept.

    Sermon on the Mount: The Heart of the Law // Matthew 5:17-48 // S7-E2

    How can we POSSIBLY live up to Jesus' expectations? After all, as He preached to the people He said to cut off your hand if it causes you to sin. He also said if you just lust after someone, you're an adulterer at heart. He even said to be "perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect." So is the Christian life just a hopeless cycle of striving after an impossible standard... and failing? In today's episode, we continue to unpack Jesus' shocking words to the crowds in the Sermon on the Mount. And we see that Jesus isn't looking for His followers to just check all the boxes and follow the letter of the law... He's looking to transform your heart. In this episode, you'll discover... ·       Why Jesus used the shocking imagery of cutting off your hand and tearing out your eye! ·       Why it's so vital to go beyond just fixing external behaviors and get to the heart ·       What Jesus means when He says to be "perfect" Scripture passages and verses referenced: ·       Matthew 5:17-48 ·       Romans 10:4 About Know God Deeply: This podcast is produced by Precept.

    Sermon on the Mount: What Does it Mean to Be Blessed? // Matthew 5:1-16 // S7-E1

    Jesus sat down on a mountainside, His disciples gathered close, and He began what we know as the Sermon on the Mount. He did not open with rules. He opened with blessings. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those who mourn. Blessed are the meek. One after another, Jesus described the kind of people who belong to the Kingdom of God, and it looked nothing like the world's picture of a good life. Then He said something just as surprising: you are the salt of the earth, and the light of the world. The people shaped by these blessings are not meant to blend in. Their good works are meant to shine before others so that their Father in heaven is glorified. This season on the Know God Deeply Podcast, we are reading through the Sermon on the Mount together, from the Beatitudes in Matthew 5 to the wise builder in Matthew 7. Across six episodes, we slow down and observe the text for ourselves, listening for what Jesus reveals about life in His Kingdom and the kind of followers He calls us to be. Episode 1 opens in Matthew 5:1-16. Grab your Bible and discover what it means to be blessed, and to live as salt and light.
