Bible, Women & Bathrobes, Episode 23

Sermon on the Mount, Part 12

Summary

Tamara, Jen, and Amy discussed Matthew 6:1-4 from the Sermon on the Mount about the importance of giving without expecting recognition or reward, emphasizing the need for authenticity and selflessness in serving others. They also shared insights on maintaining healthy relationships through active listening and obedience to God's instructions, while managing projects effectively by stepping back and letting others take ownership. They emphasized the importance of prioritizing collaboration and recognizing when to speak and remain silent.

Main Takeaways

·      From Tamara, “God has invited us to love Him and then love our neighbors and serve them. And so really just doing it for that reason, and letting the rest of it play out, because ultimately this is all about us learning to become more Christ-like and to do that, we've got to lay our pride on the altar and just keep serving.” 

·      From Amy, “Just remember, nothing happens without me. And so all I'm doing is giving you something and asking you to give it to someone else. And then I'm still gonna reward you.”

·      From Jen, “ Our time on Earth is so short. What are we doing with this time that's given? And at the end of the day it's have we helped? Have we helped make our little area of the orchard better? It's all He cares about. He'll reward us in the end, He'll reward us.”
