Ask, Seek, Knock | Sermon on the Mount Week 9

Jesus does not list out a litany of requirements for the way we must approach God. He simply says we must ask, seek and knock and it will be given. Adam Barnett reminds us of this truth as we continue our summer study of the Sermon on the Mount. Ask, Seek, Knock Sermon on the Mount | Week 9 July 22, 2018 | Adam Barnett Matthew 7:7-8 (NIV) Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. NOT Matthew 7:7-8 Ask every hour, starting at 4:00am until midnight, and in at least seven different languages, and it will be given to you; seek in the dark, without a flashlight, in a pit of rattlesnakes, and you will find; knock in perfect rhythm, 24 times per minute, and with only three knuckles at a time, and the door will be opened to you. Barnett's Halloween Andre at Halloween Matthew 7:9-11 (NIV) Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 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! God is FAITHFUL and TRUSTWORTHY Matthew 7:12 (NIV) So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
