  8. Ep. 76 | Are You Really Following Jesus? (Matthew 7:7-29)

    Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount with some of His clearest—and most sobering—teachings about genuine discipleship.In Matthew 7:7–29, Jesus teaches us to trust the goodness of our heavenly Father, treat others as we want to be treated, enter through the narrow gate, recognize false teachers...

  9. Ep. 75 | How Charlie Kirk's Death Changed The Way I See The Gospel

    Charlie Kirk was not Jesus—and this video is not an attempt to equate the two.But watching the public reaction to Charlie’s assassination changed the way I read the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ death. The mockery, dehumanization, conspiracy theories, competing narratives, and determination to...

  10. Ep. 74 | “Do Not Judge” Doesn’t Mean What You Think (Matthew 7:1–6)

    “Do not judge” may be one of the most quoted—and most misunderstood—statements Jesus ever made. Was Jesus teaching Christians never to recognize sinful behavior or make moral judgments? In Matthew 7:1–6, Jesus doesn’t forbid discernment. He condemns hypocritical, self-righteous judgment. In this...

  11. Ep. 73 | Every Little Thing Is Gonna Be Alright (Matthew 6:25–34)

    Worry convinces us that everything depends on us. Jesus reminds us that we belong to a Father who already knows exactly what we need. In Matthew 6:25–34, Jesus points toward the birds of the sky and the flowers of the field as evidence of God’s faithful care. His answer to anxiety isn’t…

  12. Ep. 72 | You Can't Serve Two Masters (Matthew 6:19-24)

    Everyone is building a treasure somewhere—and wherever your treasure is, your heart will follow. In Matthew 6:19–24, Jesus warns us about storing up treasures on earth, where everything eventually fades, breaks, or disappears. He calls us to invest in what lasts, guard what shapes our spiritual...

  13. Ep. 71 | Jesus’ Simple Guide to Prayer (Matthew 6:5–15)

    Prayer doesn’t have to be impressive, complicated, or filled with perfect words. In Matthew 6:5–15, Jesus teaches us what genuine prayer looks like—and gives us a model commonly known as the Lord’s Prayer. In this episode, we examine why we pray, how we should approach God, what Jesus meant by...

  14. Ep. 70 | Performative Giving (Matthew 6:1-4)

    Jesus does not merely care that we do good—He cares why we do it. In Matthew 6:1–4, Jesus warns His disciples about practicing righteousness to be noticed and praised by others. Using generosity as His first example, He teaches us to give quietly, sincerely, and for the approval of our Father...

  15. Ep. 69 | Love Your Enemies - Including THAT One... (Matthew 5:43-48)

    Jesus commands us to love our enemies—but what does that actually look like when someone has wounded, opposed, or mistreated us? In this episode, we study Matthew 5:43–48 and discover that loving our enemies does not mean pretending their actions were acceptable or abandoning necessary…

    more

  16. Ep. 68 | Serving When You Don't Have To (Matthew 5:38-42)

    What does Jesus mean when He tells us to turn the other cheek and go the second mile? In Matthew 5:38–42, Jesus challenges our natural desire to retaliate, defend our pride, and give people only what they deserve. Instead, He calls His followers to respond to wrongdoing with grace, generosity…

  17. Ep. 67 | Let Your "Yes" Mean Yes (Matthew 5:33-37)

    Why should we need to say, “I promise I’m telling the truth”? Shouldn’t honesty be the normal way Christians speak? In Matthew 5:33–37, Jesus confronts broken promises, carefully worded loopholes, and deceptive speech. He calls His followers to something deeper than technical accuracy: a life of...

  18. Ep. 66 | What Jesus Taught About Divorce (Matthew 5:31–32)

    Divorce is a deeply personal subject - but Jesus does not avoid difficult conversations. In Matthew 5:31–32, He challenges the idea that obtaining the proper paperwork automatically makes a divorce right in God’s sight. Marriage is more than a legal contract; it is a sacred covenant that must not...

  19. Ep. 65 | The Murder And Adultery We've All Committed (Matthew 5:21-30)

    Jesus doesn’t only care about the sins others can see—He cares about what is growing within our hearts. _______________________________________________________________ SUPPORT RIVERSIDE HERE: https://www.patreon.com/cw/riversideministry/membership RIVERSIDE ETSY SHOP:...
