Bible, Women & Bathrobes, Episode 39
Sermon on the Mount, part 20
Summary
Wendi, Tamara & Amy dove into Matthew 7:1-5 and emphasized the importance of discernment and self-awareness in judging others and personal growth. They stressed the need to be careful and seek wisdom before making judgments, and to observe and listen to people's stories. They also discussed the significance of prioritizing self-care and inviting Jesus into daily life to serve others with kindness and compassion. Additionally, they highlighted the importance of addressing one's own issues before trying to help others, practicing emotional intelligence, and fostering self-love in interpersonal connections.
Main Takeaways
· From Amy, “I was just thinking about how my job is not to heal. My job isn't to fix. . . In in Isaiah, chapter 61:1, he it talks about, “he was come to heal the brokenhearted, and he was come to bind up the wounds and do all of the things”. . . I really believe His job is to heal, and my job is to just bring people to Jesus. That's it.”
· From Wendi, “Being able to hear the Lord and have him help us in our understanding of how to look at a certain situation. . . Just keep turning to the Lord and asking Him, praying and asking him help me to see what I need to see and how I need to judge the situation. How do I respond even? . . . And he'll give us that ability, if we will just stop and listen.”
· From Tamara, “My biggest takeaway is how much we need Jesus, both to heal ourselves, but then to help us as we love and serve those around us. This is not a work we can go and do by ourselves, and if we do we do it poorly. So we need him by our side. That inspiration is key. Just taking the time every day to align ourselves with Him, to invite Him in, take the time to take care of ourselves, so that we can minister in the best way possible.”
