We missed last week’s podcast, so this episode of Unfiltered Faith: BTCW brings together two weeks of our Wednesday night Bible study.
Host Evelyn and co-host Krystal walk through Matthew 6:19–34 and Matthew 7:1–12, looking at how Jesus’ teaching about treasure, money, worry, judgment, discernment, prayer, and relationships all connects.
Evelyn was away in Michigan during the Matthew 6 study, so she shares what stood out as she studied the passage on her own and reviewed what the group covered. Then Evelyn and Krystal move into this week’s discussion of Matthew 7:1–12.
In this episode:
• Where your treasure is and what it reveals about your heart
• The “good eye,” generosity, and holding money with an open hand
• Why Jesus says we cannot serve two masters
• The correct wording of 1 Timothy 6:10—the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil
• Worry, provision, and trusting the Father
• What it really means to “seek first the kingdom of God”
• Why Matthew 6:33 is not a promise that believers will never experience hardship
• What Jesus means by “Judge not”
• The plank and the speck
• Self-examination and discernment working together
• Knowing when someone is ready to receive what you are sharing
• Asking ourselves whether we are trying to restore someone—or simply trying to win
• “Ask, seek, knock” as ongoing dependence on God
• Trusting the goodness of the Father even when His answer is different from what we expected
• The Golden Rule
• Teaching patterns throughout the Sermon on the Mount
• The “Law and the Prophets” framing found in Matthew 5:17 and Matthew 7:12
Throughout these passages Jesus keeps taking us deeper than outward behavior.
What has my heart?
Who am I trusting?
What am I trying to control?
Why am I saying what I am saying?
How am I treating people?
And am I allowing God’s Word to examine me before I become focused on what needs to change in somebody else?
Matthew 6 teaches us to trust the Father with what we have, what we need, and what tomorrow holds.
Matthew 7 reminds us that we also have to trust Him with people.
Let the Word work on us first—and then let what God is doing in us show up in the way we live.
