Message #384, Matthew 7:1-29, "Pilgrim or Pretender?" Sunday, July 28, 2019 Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount with a challenge to His disciples to examine themselves in light of all Jesus has just taught. Jesus encourages them with two promises that are essential for their growth. And Jesus warns them against external and internal threats, including the risk of self-deception. Our sermon questions are: Why must I Biblically assess my life before I help another believer? And why is prayer critical to both? (Matthew 7:1-12) What is God's measure of true discipleship? How do discernment and obedience protect me from deception? (Matthew 6:19-34) Related verses: Matthew 5:7 Matthew 6:12,14-15 James 2:13 Micah 7:18-20 Psalm 51:1-17 John 7:24 Philippians 1:6 Hebrews 12:2 Matthew 5:1-2 John 14:6 Acts 4:12 2 Corinthians 13:5 Psalm 26:2 Psalm 139:23-24 Lamentations 3:40 Calvary Chapel Reston Station 1950 Isaac Newton Sq.
