As true worshipers, we are called to meet the physical needs of others. It is great when we obey this, but there can still be the temptation to make things about us. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 6:1-4 and the motives behind being generous. As implied in this episode’s title, we need to quit “tootin’ our own horns” by making us the point, and we need to wait on the only trumpet blast that will matter- the fanfare announcement that Jesus has come back to earth for His bride. This episode is sure to bring encouragement, a few chuckles, and a challenge to align ourselves with the heart of Jesus.

In the last few weeks, we have witnessed a heightened reminder of how hateful the world can be. It is overwhelming, and frankly, it can make it hard to love all people. However, Matthew 5:43-48 reminds us as true worshipers that loving only those who love us back is easy. If we truly want to imitate Christ’s love and set ourselves apart from the world, we must love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks this passage and reminds Christians that we all were once enemies of Jesus. Yet, Luke 23:34 shows us that Jesus’s love was demonstrated on the cross as He prayed over His persecutors, “Father forgive them, for they know not what they do.”

What do you do when people wrong you? Do you want to get even? Do you want revenge? Do you leave things up for “karma?” However you feel, what if every evil done to you is a Gospel opportunity to show the grace of Jesus Christ? Join Dr. Tyler Ball as he unpacks Matthew 5:38-42 and encourages all true worshippers to meet the sting of evil with the surprise of grace.
