In this message from Matthew 7:7–14, “Roads and Rules,” we are reminded that Christ calls His followers to pursue God wholeheartedly so they can live rightly with others and grow into Christlikeness. Jesus urges an ongoing dependence on God—keep asking, seeking, and knocking—trusting that He provides according to His will. As we walk closely with Him, we are shaped to treat others with the same grace and love we have received, fulfilling the call to love God and neighbor. The sermon contrasts two paths—the wide road that follows our natural desires and leads to destruction, and the narrow way through Christ that leads to life—challenging us to examine our hearts, resist self-centered living, and faithfully follow Jesus, even when it’s difficult.
