Christ will continue in His Sermon on the Mount from warning of errant teachers last week to warning of errant hearers this week. Matthew 7:21–23 will reveal The Danger of a Christianity Without Christ. Our Lord will teach that many are professors of Christ but not possessors of Christ. Let’s learn how to discover and how to share the gospel with those who call themselves Christians yet do not have Christ. These are the words we don’t want to hear, but they are also the words we don’t want our loved ones to hear – let’s hear what Christ says and ask ourselves and others the pointed questions that come from the text.

Christ will ask in Matthew 7:13–14, Which Road Are You On? There is the broad road that leads to destruction and the narrow road that leads to Life. Both roads are marked “Heaven,” but only one road truly leads there. There is no dodging the question this Sunday. Jesus Christ is direct and He is calling for a decision! Which way will you choose? Are you truly one of the few?

After all that Christ has called us to be thus far through His Sermon on the Mount, He recognizes that His audience may be feeling inadequate to do all He has commanded. So, in Matthew 7:7–12, Christ will give all believers hope to overcome inadequacy and to stand firm when the battle is hot.

We will examine and clarify what the Lord is actually teaching in this famous, yet often misused, passage: Matthew 7:1–6. Continuing in His Sermon on the Mount, Christ will now teach us How to Treat Others. Don’t miss this Sunday as we will be both challenged and encouraged to live more like Christ!

For the true believer in Christ, worrying about anything simply reveals our lack of trust in our Sovereign Lord! The Sovereign Christ will continue His incredible Sermon on the Mount by addressing the crippling sins of anxiety and worry. Matthew 6:25–34 will remind all true believers in Christ: do NOT worry and DO seek the Lord first! Christ not only wants us to stop worrying, He wants us to also start seeking Him.
