Matthew 7:12: What Does Love Look Like When We Treat Others as We Want to Be Treated?

In this week’s podcast episode, we take a deep and thoughtful look at **Gospel of Matthew 7:1–12**, examining Jesus’ powerful teaching on **judging others, God’s love, biblical correction, and the Golden Rule**. If you’ve ever wondered what “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” really means—or how this famous verse reveals the depth of God’s love—this episode is packed with insight, clarity, and practical application.We begin by exploring Jesus’ warning: *“Do not judge, so that you will not be judged.”* But what does that truly mean? We unpack the difference between **unbiblical judgment**—a final verdict that closes the door on love—and **biblical correction**, which is rooted in compassion, truth, and restoration. Calling out sin in a loving, biblical way is not a form of judgment; rather, **judgment is the refusal to love enough to keep praying, guiding, and evangelising**.This episode highlights how Jesus calls us to humility instead of harshness, mercy instead of condemnation, and a lifestyle that reflects the grace we’ve been given.Next, we explore how Jesus shifts to the character of our Heavenly Father. If we, flawed and selfish as we are, know how to give good gifts to our children, **how much more** will God—who is perfect love—give good things to those who ask? Notice that Jesus uses examples of *needs*, like bread and fish, to show that God provides what is truly nourishing and essential, not just what we desire.This transitions seamlessly into the heart of the passage: **the Golden Rule**. Together we discover how:* The Golden Rule reflects the love and goodness of God* God’s generosity empowers us to treat others with compassion* Biblical correction flows from love, not condemnation* Showing true love may introduce someone to real love for the very first time* Living out “Do unto others” is only possible when we draw from the love God has shown us* We represent God’s heart when we love, forgive, give, and refuse to issue final judgmentUltimately, this episode reveals how **Matthew 7:1–12** is a unified teaching about experiencing God’s love and reflecting that love to others—through how we speak, act, correct, forgive, and live.If you want to understand the Golden Rule more deeply, if you wrestle with the idea of judgment, or if you desire to grow in Christlike love and biblical wisdom, this episode offers rich encouragement and practical guidance.**Tune in now to explore how Jesus’ words in Matthew 7 can transform your relationships, deepen your faith, and help you love others the way God loves you

Women of the Bible: Naaman's Wife Slave & Noah's Wife and Daughters-in-Law

In this episode, we explore the inspiring stories of two often-overlooked women in the Bible—Naaman’s wife’s servant girl and Noah’s wife and daughters-in-law. Though unnamed in Scripture, their faith, courage, and obedience offer powerful lessons for every believer today. We begin with the young servant girl in Naaman’s household. Despite being taken captive and living far from home, she demonstrated extraordinary faith in God. Her willingness to speak up and point Naaman toward the prophet of Israel shows the impact of sharing God’s truth even in difficult circumstances. Her story challenges us to trust God, evangelise with compassion, and remain faithful no matter what we face. We then look at the women in Noah’s family—his wife and daughters-in-law—who worked alongside Noah during the building of the ark. Though Scripture does not record their names, their loyalty, unity, and perseverance remind us that God values the unseen work of faithful servants. Their quiet strength teaches us the beauty of standing firm together despite criticism, cultural pressure, or seasons of uncertainty. This episode invites you to reflect on how God sees every act of obedience, even when the world does not. These biblical women may not be named, but they are fully known and deeply loved by our heavenly Father. Their examples encourage us to stay committed, trust God’s plan, and walk in faith—even when our work feels hidden. Join us as we uncover the powerful lessons these women of the Bible offer for Christian living, spiritual resilience, and growing in our identity in Christ.

CONTENTMENT: Finding Peace and Satisfaction in Christ

In this episode, we take a deep and honest look at **contentment**—what it truly means from a biblical perspective and how it shapes the way we live, think, and make decisions. We explore contentment not as the absence of ambition, but as a deep, settled satisfaction rooted in Christ. While ambition and growth are not wrong, achievement was never meant to be our primary goal or the defining measure of a successful life. Using **Romans 14:8** and **Philippians 1:21** as our foundation, we reflect on what it means to live and die for the Lord, and how these verses help us create a Christ-centred framework for decision-making. When our lives are anchored in belonging to Him, our souls can find rest—even when circumstances are uncertain or outcomes fall short of our expectations. We also talk candidly about the challenge of guarding our hearts against discontent, especially as youthful optimism fades and we look back over life wondering why certain hopes, plans, or dreams did not unfold as we imagined. How do we remain at peace when life takes unexpected turns? How do we trust God when reality doesn’t match our earlier vision? This conversation gently invites us to lift our eyes beyond earthly measures of success and rediscover contentment in our secure hope of salvation. As we anchor ourselves in Christ, we are reminded that our eternity is safe in Him—and that truth brings peace, freedom, and lasting joy. Join us as we reflect on finding true contentment, rest for our souls, and confidence in the Lord who holds our past, present, and future.

Women of the Bible - Miriam

In this episode, we continue our *Women of the Bible* series by turning our focus to Miriam—the sister of Moses and Aaron—and exploring her life in its fullness as it unfolds across the pages of Scripture. Drawing from Exodus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, we take a holistic look at Miriam’s story, embracing both her faith-filled triumphs and her very human struggles.We begin with Miriam as a courageous and quick-witted big sister, watching over baby Moses as he is placed in a basket on the Nile. In this moment, we see her bravery, intelligence, and instinct to protect, as God uses her boldness to preserve the life of the one who would later lead Israel out of slavery. From there, we follow Miriam into her role as a prophetess and worship leader, lifting her voice and leading the women of Israel in praise and celebration after God miraculously delivers His people through the Red Sea. Her song and dance remind us of the power of worship, testimony, and public praise in the life of God’s people.But Miriam’s story does not stop at victory and faithfulness. Scripture also invites us to sit with the harder moments of her life. We examine the episode in which Miriam speaks out against Moses, possibly driven by jealousy, pride, or a desire for recognition. In this painful chapter, we see the consequences of envy and judgment, as Miriam faces God’s discipline. Yet even here, grace is not absent. Moses and Aaron intercede on her behalf, and God responds with mercy—restoring Miriam and allowing her to continue with the community she helped shape.Miriam’s life is a rich tapestry of lessons that feel deeply relatable. Through her story, we explore themes of humanity and frailty, leadership and responsibility, envy and repentance, judgment and compassion, intercession, forgiveness, and the profound mercy of God. Miriam reminds us that even those called and used by God are not immune to struggle—but they are never beyond redemption.This episode invites listeners to reflect honestly on their own hearts, their relationships, and their response to both correction and grace. Miriam’s story challenges us to worship boldly, lead faithfully, repent humbly, and trust deeply in a God who disciplines with love and restores with mercy.
