  • Jeremiah: The Wells We Dig (Jeremiah 2:13)

    May 3, 2026 · Dr Josh Burnham

    Jeremiah

    • 27:07Matthew 7

      My little broken sister if I can just patch that one crack then God will accept me and there's nothing you can do to repair the cracks of your life that sin has destroyed. There is a remedy we will see shortly but there is no easy fix. Jesus actually reminds us of this in Matthew 7. He says wide is the

  • Jeremiah

    • 25:59Matthew 7

      But for us, post-resurrection, God supplies you by filling you with himself. God gives you the Holy Spirit. That is our supply, and it's not just simply the word of Jeremiah. Remember what Matthew 7 says. Jesus is reminding us to pray, and he says, How much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who love him? This is on the heels of Jesus saying, ask.

  • Two Things for 2026 Part II (Mark 12:28-34)

    January 11, 2026 · Dr Josh Burnham

    Love God Love People

    • 31:00Matthew 7

      …it. You're close enough to admire the kingdom. You're close enough to speak rightly about it, but you still remain outside. And I think the reason this should stop us in our tracks, because I hear the words of Jesus in Matthew 7 in the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus looks at the crowd and says, not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven. It's the reminder here that you and I can speak accurately about God.

  • Asking for a Friend

    • 13:21Matthew 7

      And if that is the hope you have, you don't have hope. It's the exact same logic that Jesus uses in Matthew 7. When he says to those who are listening, not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord. Now, let's just stop there. These are not people who have walked an aisle and said to a church, Lord, Lord. These were not valedictorians, summa cum laude, at the Hebrew rabbi school who have said, Lord, Lord.

  • Matthew

    • 20:16Matthew 7

      Because this man from Nazareth teaches as one who has authority. And we should say, yeah, He does, all authority. Matthew 7, 29. Even then, something was different about Him. But now, after the cross and after the tomb, after death has been broken and undone, He declares it openly. No more hints. Jesus says to us, all authority has been given.

  • Matthew – The Sermon on the Mount

    June 8, 2025 · Jared Mitchell

    Matthew

    • 10:55Matthew 7

      to understanding this, that the only way that me and you are going to live the way Jesus calls us to live is to trust only in the cross of Christ. Not our righteousness, but his. But as we consider righteousness from Matthew chapter seven, I want you to go to Matthew chapter five and look with me in verse 17. And I believe that this verse is really a focal point for his sermon,

    • 41:15Matthew 7

      It could be his angel. But Peter, the Bible says. He kept on knocking. Because that's really what perseverance is about. It's about this. Some doors will never be open if you don't keep on. That's really the sense in the Greek. In Matthew 7 and 7. Ask and it shall be given. It's keep on asking and it shall be given. Keep on seeking and you'll find. Keep on knocking and the door shall be open.

  • When in Romans

    • 14:59Matthew 7

      One of the most quoted verses, when people feel judged in our world, they'll pull it out immediately, right? Do not judge so that you won't be judged. It's in Matthew 7. It's a reminder that our perspective is limited, but our judgments often fall short of God's perfect understanding. The truth is judgment is something we all try to dodge in this life because it makes us feel…

    • 16:13Matthew 7

      All right, well, we're going to go back to Matthew 7 for a minute. Matthew 7, verse 1. I'm going to read that verse again, but in full context. Do not judge that you won't be judged, for you will be judged by the same standard which you judge others, and you will be…

  • Ecclesiastes – The Approach (Eccl. 5:1)

    June 30, 2024 · Dr Josh Burnham

    Ecclesiastes

    • 24:53Matthew 7

      go together in worship and Jesus warns us about empty religious words if you think that this is not possible today listen to Matthew chapter 7 Jesus speaking to crowds that are interested in his words these are not pagans these are not atheists or agnostic these are people who are sensitive to the word of God and he says to this group not everyone who says to me Lord Lord will enter the kingdom

  • The Mind of a Disciple

    • 13:07Matthew 7

      Andrew reminds us that God is not far. He desires that you seek Him. Matthew 7, the Messiah reiterates the same thing. Jesus says, ask, seek, and find. If you ask, it will be given. If you seek, you will find. If you knock, the door will be open. Church today, oh, that we would have a heart of Andrew. A man that had a heart that sought after God. The heart that would ask things of the Lord.

  • The Worthy One (Revelation 5:1-14)

      and he knows us he goes before us we are with him and he is with us and I would suggest to you that there's no one greater to know than the king of kings and how I pray for you what we see in Matthew 7 don't stand before the father one day and him look at you and say do we know each other me and you I mean I know that I know that

  • God is Bigger than your Crisis

    March 29, 2020 · Dr Josh Burnham

    God is Bigger

    • 41:57Matthew 7

      But that's the bold assurance that any child has who knows that their father loves them, that cares and will meet their need in their time of need. And yet this is what you can do because of the bold love of Jesus Christ. This is exactly what the Messiah says in Matthew 7, verse 7. Jesus himself says ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find.

  • Be A Doer

    February 2, 2020 · Dr Josh Burnham

    James

    • 14:02Matthew 7

      I believe the Holy Spirit is echoing back to another famous sermon. The Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew chapter 7, Jesus says the same words. He says this. Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven. But only the one who does. Sound familiar? Here, James would say it this way, but be doers of the word. Everyone who does the will of my Father in heaven.

  • Built upon the Rock

    January 6, 2020 · Dr Josh Burnham

    2020 Vision

    • 6:40Matthew 7

      …life of substance. Jesus Christ says this way. He said, build your house upon the rock. So this year, how do we conquer St. Clair County for the gospel? We begin by living as people of substance. And so turn with me in Matthew chapter 7. Some of you might know this is the Sermon on the Mount.

    • 6:54Matthew 7

      Some of you might know this is the Sermon on the Mount. So Sermons on the Mount series of proclamations by Jesus Christ. Matthew 7 verse 24. I'm reading from the CSB Bible. And if you don't have a Bible with you, many of you have pew Bibles in front of you. Please take that and use it. If you don't have a Bible, that is our gift to you. We believe…

  • Joy Worth Sharing

    December 22, 2019 · Dr Josh Burnham

    Advent

    • 35:15Matthew 7

      So the sign of God is given for us not to sit still, but to seek. So how do we respond to this message? God wants his people to be seekers and not sitters. How do we know that? Because Jesus says in Matthew 7, Jesus reminds us of this truth, that we should constantly seek him. Shepherds, don't just look at me. Don't be afraid. Go. Jesus says in Matthew 7, ask and it will be given.

    • 35:27Matthew 7

      Jesus says in Matthew 7, ask and it will be given. Seek and you will find. Knock and the door will be opened. Now the best translation would actually be this, of that phrase. Continue to ask and you will be continually given. Continually seek and you will continually find. Continually knock and the door will be continually opened.

    Acts

    • 36:49Matthew 7

      …not in it, you get rejected. One time you go, I'm not doing that again. And we end up sitting right here our entire lives and never sharing the gospel again. Because we've been rejected once. And don't be discouraged. Matthew 7, 13, 14 says this. Enter by the narrow gate, for the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction.

  • Sunday, June 24, 2018

    June 24, 2018 · Dr Josh Burnham

    • 22:02Matthew 7

      Can you think of a time where Jesus talks about fruit? He's talking about false teachers. In Matthew 7, he says you will know them by their fruit. Their fruit. Now let me say this. If you are hoping that your pastor, which I believe he's an awesome guy. If you ever wondered, there's your answer. There is no pastor, or church, or deacon, or Sunday school leader, or life group leader, that can work for your spiritual advancement.

    • 23:08Matthew 7

      So if you're hoping that I will sweat and work on your behalf, and that you will grow, and you'll be fruitful, that's not how the kingdom of God works. He powers us to work for his good, and for our good in turn. So when we work for Christ, we see the Holy Spirit produces in us fruit. And Jesus says in Matthew 7, you will know them by their fruit. Good trees produce good fruit. Bad trees produce bad fruit.

    • 2:06Matthew 7

      Do your deeds, does your lifestyle match what you say? Right? So do my hands match what is coming out of my mouth? See the visual there? We say, Lord, Lord. Matthew 7. But Jesus says, There will be many who say to me, Lord, Lord, but I will say to them, depart from me because I never knew you. You see, our obedience, the Christian life is first and foremost, a clear expression of the will of God.

    Reformation: 5 statements that form/faith

    • 29:41Matthew 7

      A scripture that keeps me up at night. As a pastor is this. Matthew 7, 21. Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord. Will enter the kingdom of heaven. But he who does the will of my father. You see, confession of the king always leads to obedience of the king. Colossians says, if you have received the Lord Jesus Christ, so walk in his ways.

    Proverbs

    • 9:42Matthew 7

      …living in a broken world. Are you a builder? But it's not enough to ask that question to answer it. Yes. Because we also have a tendency to build wrongly. And this is what Jesus Christ addresses here. Jesus says in Matthew 7, therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine, acts on them, will be like a sensible man who built his house.

    • 10:50Matthew 7

      But, you know, we, Jesus is the only answer. Jesus is the only answer. So, He's the narrow gate. I'm going to believe in Jesus. But Jesus says in Matthew 7, enter through the narrow gate. And His name is Jesus Christ. That leads to the narrow way, which leads to life. Fear Him in obedience. That same chapter in Matthew 7 says, on that day, I want you to listen to this, because as church folk, this should absolutely scare us.

    • 11:05Matthew 7

      That same chapter in Matthew 7 says, on that day, I want you to listen to this, because as church folk, this should absolutely scare us. On that day, many will say to me, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not perform many miracles in your name? And I will announce to them, I never knew you.

      …says, whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches men so shall be the least of the kingdom of heaven. But whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7, also the Sermon on the Mount. And so it was when Jesus had ended these sayings that the people were astonished at his teaching.
