Have you ever felt the frustration of unanswered prayers or questioned your faith journey? As Christians, we often encounter these challenges. This week let’s look at Matthew 7:7-12 and discuss the pivotal role of prayer in strengthening our faith. Let’s examine the core lessons from Jesus’s teaching and how these principles can actively nurture and enhance faith.

We often hear the phrase, "Don't judge me!" thrown around, especially among young people. It's a concept that's become deeply ingrained in our culture, but what does it truly mean to judge others? How does this relate to our Christian faith? In this blog post, we will jump into the teachings of Jesus from Matthew 7:1-6 and explore the delicate balance between discernment and judgment.

Are you a worrier? Are you sometimes overwhelmed by concerns, doubts, and anxieties about the future? If so, you're not alone. We all have moments when worry seems to drag us down. But here's the good news: your worries can be a catalyst for positive change in your life.

In the hustle and bustle of our daily lives, we often hear about the significance of giving and prayer in the Christian journey. However, there's a third element that deserves equal attention: fasting. Fasting is not some magical practice but a powerful tool that Jesus Himself incorporated into His teachings. Let’s take a few minutes to explore the meaning of fasting, its biblical roots, and how it can transform our Christian walk.

Many of us have grown up hearing, if not memorizing, Matthew 6:91-13. This is often called “The Lord’s Prayer.” When I surrendered to Christ, this is how a friend in my church taught me to pray. I would not repeat the prayer, but I used it as a model for praying.

Three pillars of righteous living are highlighted by Jesus: giving, prayer, and fasting. It's not a question of "if" but "when" you engage in these acts, implying that these should be standard practices for the faithful. While these aren't the sole measures of righteousness, neglecting them can turn our other righteous deeds into displays of self-indulgence and arrogance.
