Teaching Missions: Growing in God’s Grace

Matthew 7:15-23 Beware of false teachers

False teachers teach and live a false gospel, and many are hypocrites. Look at both their teaching and their lives and don't follow them.

Matthew 7:13-14 Take the narrow road to life

Our road to life splits to the narrow way leading to life through following and obeying Jesus Christ, and staying on the broad way of seeking our own pleasures

Ask, seek, knock and you will receive. Do to others as you would that they do to you.

Christ Hath Made Us Free

By his crucifixion, Jesus Christ has freed his followers from the enemies of the world system, the fleshly nat, and the devil himself. We are now free to remain serving Him.

Matthew 7:1-6

Don't judge by external appearance but by inner character. Do to others you would like them to do to you.

Do not worry about the cares of this world - food, clothing, shelter, etc. because God taks care of the birds and plants, and will care for you too.

Seek things from above, and not things on earth; your heart is where your treasure is. Have a clear eye on things in heaven, not an evil eye with darkness in your soul.

Address God as Father, he is holy, and we must seek His will above our own.

If we seek praise from man in our giving charity or prayer, we have it on earth, but not in heaven.
