Our Choices Define Us. Matthew 7.13-14
When I exited the church building on Sunday, I was caught in a driving rainstorm on one of Cambridge’s little side streets in the historic area of town; there were no taxis to be hailed, no respite to be had in dry transport.

Discipline and the Narrow Gate. Matthew 7.13-14
Consider this epitaph from a boxer in ancient Greece:
“Here he died boxing in the stadium – Having prayed to Zeus for a wreath or death. Age 35. Farewell.” [from an unearthed monument]

The schedule is rigorous, intense, and demanding, but will be beneficial to my equipping as a minister of Jesus to many folks worldwide.

Nonetheless, I am mindful that we have just come through an intense passage…

The Golden Rule and Everything. Matthew 7.12
We live in the world of no absolutes, have you noticed? I have heard folks say, ‘well, that might be true for you, but it is not true for me.’ Which begs the question then, are there absolute truths—things that are true for everyone? ‘And…

Matthew Six – in Jesus’ words
Before we move on, having just taken to heart Jesus’ words about not worrying, but instead, trusting him, and making him first in our lives, it is really valuable to look again at the whole of Matthew chapter six. Look how much Jesus talked about:
~Pure desire for God, not pious deeds to be seen by others
~The disciples’ prayer or the ‘Our Father’/the model of prayer that Jesus
taught
~God the Father delighting in giving his…
