Ask, Seek, Knock
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
8
For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.
9
“Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone?
10
Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake?
11
If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him!

Ask, Seek and Knock Part 2
Jeff Johnson
We’re making our way through the Sermon on the Mount with pastor Jeff Johnson, and today we return to chapter seven and receive some prayer pointers. 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.
