Denton Lee continues our series on the Sermon on the Mount, diving into one of Jesus’ most well-known teachings—what some might call His “Greatest Hits.” While all the Gospels share pieces of these teachings, Matthew gives us the most complete version, laid out over a few chapters.Jesus gives a powerful call: “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” From there, He lays out a radical way of life—one where humility, mercy, righteousness, and a pure heart define those who belong to His Kingdom. He blesses the poor in spirit, the mourners, the meek, and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness. He calls us to trust God instead of worrying and to seek Him in prayer.In this message, we focused on Matthew 7:6-12. These verses remind us that God is a good Father who invites us to ask, seek, and knock. Denton pointed us to Jesus’ promise: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” God wants us to come to Him with boldness and trust, knowing that He gives good gifts to His children.We are reminded that God is infinitely strong, righteous, good, wise, and loving. Because of who He is, we can count on Him to:1. Keep His promises – God is faithful and never fails.2. Provide what we need – Even when we don’t understand His timing or ways, He knows what’s best for us.3. Prepare us for His Kingdom – Sometimes, that means He answers our prayers differently than we expect because He’s shaping us to be more like Christ.Denton used the example of a good earthly father—how a loving dad provides for his kids, making sure they have what they need. If human fathers do that, how much more will our perfect Heavenly Father care for us? But God’s goodness isn’t just about giving us what we want; it’s about forming us into who we were made to be.So, as we reflect on this passage, we’re challenged to think about how we approach God in prayer. Are we coming to Him with trust, knowing He is good? Are we aligning our hearts with His will? Even when we don’t get the answer we expect, we can be sure of this—God always gives us what we need most: Himself.Let’s keep seeking, trusting, and leaning into our good Father.
