Real Life Church

The average Christian prays about one minute a day.

The average pastor? Five.

Jesus didn’t give us “ask, seek, knock” as a nice saying. He put it at the end of the Sermon on the Mount because everything He just taught (loving enemies, laying up treasure in heaven, taking the plank out of our own eye) is impossible without His help.

Yesterday, Pastor Tim walked through Matthew 7:7-11 and the six things that actually open the door: a real relationship with the Father, a clear conscience, praying in His will, pure motives, relentless pursuit, and trusting His goodness even when the answer isn’t what we pictured.

Don’t stop knocking.

Yesterday was a good one: More bricks. Fewer hammers.

Matthew 7:1–6

Jesus isn’t telling us to close our eyes. He’s inviting us to see clearly - to stop condemning and start discerning. First ourselves. Then each other. Gently.

People love to pull out “judge not” when they don’t want to hear the truth. But the same chapter is actually a gift: take the log out of your own eye, then help with the speck… when they’re ready.

Snap judgments are easy. Love that hopes all things is better and that’s the kind of church Jesus is building in us.

Do you have someone who will come to you in love?

Are you that kind of friend?

God cares more about who you’re becoming than what you’re accumulating.

This Sunday Logan walked through why character matters, how God actually builds it, and why the pressure you’re in right now might be the very thing forming you.

The trial isn’t there to destroy you. It’s there to prepare you.

Worry doesn’t have to win.

This Sunday Pastor Tim walked us through Matthew 6:25-34 in our Sermon on the Mount series. Jesus doesn’t just say “don’t worry”—He shows us why we don’t have to.

Your treasures, your focus, and who you call Master determine whether anxiety owns you or not. Seek first His kingdom, pause and ask God before you react, and stop dragging tomorrow’s problems into today’s grace. His mercies are new every morning.

Sending Your Treasures Ahead | Matthew 6:19-20 | Pastor Tim Fleener

Jesus said, “Don’t store up treasures on earth… store up treasures in heaven.”

In a world that constantly pushes temporary things, this message challenges us to ask: What am I really investing in?

We look at:
• When a rich man is actually poor
• Why money can’t satisfy
• Five practical ways to send your treasures ahead of you

There’s nothing wrong with wealth. God wants us to enjoy what He’s given. The danger is treasuring the temporary instead of using it for the eternal.

“He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.” – Jim Elliot

Watch the full message and let it challenge your perspective on true wealth.
