Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 7:1–6 Title: Do Not Judge, Pt. 2

Continuing Jesus’ teaching on judgment, Pastor Marty Beamer dives deeper into what it means to exercise godly discernment without hypocrisy. In Matthew 7:1–6, Jesus does not forbid moral clarity—but rather condemns self-righteousness that blinds us to our own sin. Pastor Marty explains how believers are called to remove the “log” from their own eye before addressing the “speck” in another’s, cultivating humility and grace in relationships. True judgment flows from love, aiming to restore, not condemn, as we reflect the mercy of Christ.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 7:12 Title: The Golden Rule

In this sermon, Pastor Marty Beamer unpacks one of Jesus’ most profound and practical teachings: “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.” Far from being a simple moral slogan, the Golden Rule summarizes the entire Law and the Prophets—it is the ethic of the kingdom. Pastor Marty explains how this command calls believers to reflect God’s own goodness in their relationships. When we treat others with the same mercy and grace that God has shown us, we display the transforming power of the Gospel to a watching world.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 6:22–23 Title: The Lamp of the Body

Jesus teaches that the eye is the lamp of the body—what we fix our gaze upon determines the direction and health of our entire life. Pastor Marty explains how a clear, undivided focus on God fills the soul with light, while a darkened, greedy, or distracted vision leads to spiritual blindness. This passage calls believers to examine their priorities, guarding against the subtle pull of materialism and self-interest. True righteousness flows from a heart illuminated by God’s truth, seeking His glory above all else.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 7:13–14 Title: True Discipleship: Follow

In this message, Pastor Marty Beamer opens Jesus’ call to enter through the narrow gate—a defining moment in the Sermon on the Mount. The path of true discipleship is not broad or easy but marked by faith, obedience, and surrender to Christ. Pastor Marty explains how these verses contrast the wide road of self-centered religion with the narrow way of genuine faith that leads to life. Jesus invites His followers not merely to admire Him but to follow Him, even when the road is hard and the crowd is few.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 7:15–20 Title: True Discipleship: Watch

In this sermon, Pastor Marty Beamer examines Jesus’ warning to “beware of false prophets” in Matthew 7:15–20. True discipleship requires discernment—recognizing those who distort the truth and lead others away from Christ. Pastor Marty explains how fruit reveals the root: genuine faith produces godly character, while false teaching bears corruption. The call to “watch” is not one of fear but of faithfulness, guarding the gospel and holding fast to the truth that transforms lives. Jesus reminds His followers that what we believe will always bear fruit in how we live.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 6:19–21 Title: True Righteousness – Eternal Treasure

Jesus challenges His followers to examine where their treasure truly lies. Pastor Marty explains that the heart always follows what it values most—whether earthly wealth or eternal reward. Christ calls believers to store up treasures in heaven, investing in what lasts rather than what fades. This passage reminds us that material possessions are temporary, but acts of faith, generosity, and obedience have eternal impact. True righteousness flows from a heart fixed on God’s kingdom, where joy and reward can never be lost.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 6:16–18 Title: True Righteousness – Fasting Pt. 1

Jesus turns from giving and prayer to address the final pillar of personal devotion—fasting. Pastor Marty explains that, like giving and praying, fasting must flow from sincerity before God rather than a desire for public approval. True fasting is not about outward appearance or self-denial for its own sake; it is about humbling ourselves to seek God’s presence, guidance, and grace. When done rightly, fasting aligns our hearts with the will of the Father, expressing dependence on Him and longing for His kingdom above all else.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 6:16–18 Title: True Righteousness – Fasting Pt. 2

Continuing Jesus’ teaching on fasting, Pastor Marty explores how this spiritual discipline draws believers closer to God by reordering their desires around His will. Jesus warns against fasting for recognition, emphasizing that true fasting is seen and rewarded by the Father alone. Pastor Marty reminds us that fasting is not about earning God’s favor but expressing dependence, repentance, and longing for His presence. When practiced rightly, fasting cultivates humility, deepens prayer, and renews our hunger for righteousness.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 6:14–15 Title: True Righteousness – Prayer Pt. 10

As Jesus concludes His teaching on prayer, He highlights the essential connection between receiving God’s forgiveness and extending forgiveness to others. Pastor Marty explains that a forgiven heart must be a forgiving heart—true righteousness cannot coexist with bitterness or resentment. Christ’s words remind believers that grace received must become grace given. This passage challenges us to live as people who reflect the mercy of our Father, demonstrating the transforming power of the gospel in every relationship.

Speaker: Pastor Marty Beamer Text: Matthew 6:9–13 Title: True Righteousness – Prayer Pt. 7

In this final message on the Lord’s Prayer, Pastor Marty highlights the closing petitions—seeking God’s deliverance from temptation and protection from the evil one. Jesus teaches that prayer is both dependence and defense: a daily surrender to God’s power and a refuge from spiritual danger. Pastor Marty shows how this model prayer shapes our priorities, anchoring believers in the holiness, kingdom, and will of God. When we pray as Christ taught, we align our hearts with heaven’s purposes and rest in the security of our Father’s care.
