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

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
