Rev. Justin Panzer, President of the Kansas District of The Lutheran Church—Missouri District joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 7:1-14.

Context is king. To read Jesus’ words can easily be used to push personal agendas while forgetting His truth and our need to humbly love fellow believers. We repent for our lack of humility when addressing sin, repent for not seeking the Lord’s will in prayer, and repent for not loving others as the LORD has loved us. The gate to Him is open by His cross and although not an easy road, His road is filled with His gifts of mercy, love, and grace. “Lord God, keep us faithful to Your Word to extend mercy to others as You extend mercy to us. In Christ, Amen”
