Matthew Chapter 7 - 6/18/25

Hear the powerful wisdom behind Jesus’ dual nature as both the Lamb and the Lion—gentle yet boldly discerning. What does it mean to not cast pearls before swine? We unpack this often-misunderstood teaching, revealing how “dogs” and “swine” represent those hostile to sacred truth, and how “holy things” and “pearls” symbolize divine grace, wisdom, and doctrine. You'll discover why spiritual discernment is not only wise but necessary—protecting sacred teachings from mockery and harm. We examine the balance between mercy and discretion, showing how love and justice must walk hand in hand. Drawing from Scripture and early Christian thinkers like Origen and Clement, as well as philosophers like Epictetus, we uncover a timeless principle: sacred truths deserve reverent stewardship, not careless exposure. This message is a call to share the gospel wisely—seeking receptive hearts while honoring the holiness of the message. True discernment isn’t elitism—it’s compassion with clarity.

We invite you to join us in person!
