Matthew 7:7-11

Listen to Matthew 7:7-11

7 "Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. ¹

8 For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock.

9 Would any of you who are fathers give your son a stone when he asks for bread?

10 Or would you give him a snake when he asks for a fish?

11 As bad as you are, you know how to give good things to your children. How much more, then, will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Jeff Johnson

The first of which has to do with knowing our need and God’s grace that meets that need. We’ll then transition to knowing God as our Abba Father, and finally be reminded that God is perfect and doesn’t make mistakes.

Ask, Seek and Knock Part 1

Jeff Johnson

Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll be looking at a section of the sermon on the mount that is crucial to the life of a believer. We often find ourselves in a position as Christians where we lack what God wants to give us, and it’s because we haven’t asked! Even when we ask God, we very often ask off target because we rarely know what’s best for us in life.
