    Sermon on the Mount - The Foolish and the Floods
    2025/06/15
    trim(replace(Sermon on the Mount - The Foolish and the Floods In a compelling conclusion to the lengthy study of Yeshua's Sermon on the Mount, the teaching at Founded in Truth Fellowship delves into the parable of the wise and foolish builders, found in Matthew 7:24-27. This teaching, reminiscent of ancient wisdom parables, underscores the importance of building our lives on a stable foundation amidst life's storms. Main Themes and Insights The sermon begins by reflecting on the dualistic nature of life's choices as presented in the Sermon on the Mount. Yeshua highlights two paths, two gates, two houses, and ultimately, two decisions. The crux of the teaching is the contrast between choices leading to life and those leading to destruction. The imagery of two builders constructing houses on different foundations serves as a potent metaphor for the choices individuals make in their spiritual lives. Yeshua's teaching doesn't provide a one-size-fits-all blueprint for life. Instead, it emphasizes that love and humility should form the basis of our choices. The story of the wise and foolish builders draws heavily on Israel's past, inviting the audience to consider what foundation they are truly building upon. "What are you really building your life upon?" is the pivotal question Yeshua poses. Yeshua's Authority One of the striking aspects of Yeshua's teachings is His authoritative voice. Unlike the rabbis of His day who relied heavily on the teachings of their predecessors, Yeshua speaks with unparalleled authority, likening Himself to Moses. The parallel drawn between Yeshua's ascent up the mountain to deliver teachings and Moses' ascent to receive the commandments further underscores Yeshua's authority. The audience's amazement at His teachings lies in this very authority and the revelation He brings. The Role of Lady Wisdom Another layer to understanding Yeshua's teachings is the role of Lady Wisdom, a metaphorical figure in Proverbs embodying divine wisdom. Yeshua's parables echo Lady Wisdom's warnings about the perils of ignoring divine wisdom. Emphasizing wisdom's role in life, Yeshua appeals to His audience to build their lives on the solid rock of His teachings, akin to the wisdom personified by Lady Wisdom. Building on the Rock Yeshua's reference to the rock in His parable resonates with His Jewish audience's understanding of the temple on Mount Zion—standing firm amidst chaos. By calling His followers a city on a hill, Yeshua invites them to represent God's kingdom on earth, built on the unshakeable foundation of His teachings. Historical Context and Warnings The parable also serves as a prophetic warning about the impending Roman invasion and the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD. Yeshua's generation faced dire choices between cultural assimilation with Rome or violent revolt. Both paths led to destruction, yet Yeshua offers a third way: the way of the kingdom, marked by surrender to God's power and wisdom rather than worldly pursuits of control and security. Takeaways and Life Applications Build your life on the solid foundation of Yeshua's teachings, not on fleeting worldly promises.Embrace love and humility in all decisions, as these should underpin every action and choice.Seek wisdom from divine teachings, recognizing the voice of God as the true guide in life's journey.Acknowledge Yeshua's authority and allow His revelation to shape your perspective and actions.Remember the historical and prophetic context of Yeshua’s teachings, learning from past mistakes to avoid future calamities. Conclusion: Building the Kingdom Ultimately, the teaching concludes by reinforcing that Yeshua doesn't offer mere survival tactics or happiness tips. Instead, He invites us into the kingdom of God, asking us to pledge allegiance to His eternal kingdom. The choice of foundation—sand or rock—determines our standing when life's inevitable floods come. Reflecting on what kingdom we are building prompts us to examine our allegiance and readiness for challenges.

  • Sermon on the Mount - Workers of Lawlessness

    Sermon on the Mount - Workers of Lawlessness
    2025/05/25
    trim(replace(Sermon on the Mount - Workers of Lawlessness In a powerful sermon delivered by Matthew Vander Els at Founded in Truth Fellowship, the focus was on one of the most sobering warnings in the Sermon on the Mount. This section of the scripture, found in Matthew 7, challenges us to not only examine our spiritual activities but to align ourselves with the true kingdom of God. Vander Els emphasizes the importance of our hearts being in alignment with the teachings of Yeshua, especially the distinction between spiritual activity and spiritual alignment. The sermon ultimately calls us to a deeper relationship with God rather than just a superficial portrayal of righteousness. Understanding the Two Paths The Sermon on the Mount presents us with a choice between two paths: the way of the kingdom or the way of empire. Matthew Vander Els explains that the kingdom path is one of justice, mercy, and peace, while the path of empire is about power, performance, and self-righteousness. This dichotomy is essential to understanding Yeshua's teachings as they call for a transformation of our desires and motivations, moving beyond surface-level changes to a deep reshaping of our lives. The Warning of Spiritual Maturity Yeshua's words in Matthew 7:21-23 serve as a warning to those who might mistake spiritual energy for spiritual maturity. Vander Els points out that gifts and charismatic displays do not equate to spiritual fruit. Instead, spiritual maturity is reflected in a life oriented by humility, surrender, and mercy. The sermon urges us to evaluate the fruit our lives produce, emphasizing that genuine spiritual growth cannot be faked or manufactured. Reflect on whether your spiritual activities align with the teachings of Yeshua.Assess if your life is producing genuine spiritual fruit.Strive for a deep, transformative relationship with God rather than mere spiritual performances. The Danger of Empire Vander Els delves into the concept of empire, using historical examples to illustrate how the worldly systems stand in opposition to God's kingdom. He describes empire as a machinery of domination and control, contrasting it with the kingdom of God, which is built on compassion, humility, and generosity. This section of the sermon calls for a critical examination of how we might unwittingly serve the empire while believing we are advancing God's kingdom. Consider how worldly values might influence your spiritual journey.Recognize the ways in which empire can masquerade as righteousness.Commit to embodying the kingdom values of humility and mercy. Intimacy with God At the heart of the sermon is the call to be known by God rather than merely knowing about God. Vander Els emphasizes that spiritual activities are not enough if they do not stem from an intimate relationship with the Father. Using the term "genosko," which denotes a deep, relational knowledge, the sermon underscores the significance of being genuinely known by God and aligning our lives with His will. Conclusion: Choose the Path of Life The sermon closes with a powerful reminder that we have a choice in how we live our lives. The narrow path, although more challenging, leads to life and a deeper relationship with God. Vander Els encourages the congregation to persevere in building the kingdom of God and to ensure their actions align with kingdom values. He calls for a reevaluation of our spiritual journey, urging us to be faithful ambassadors of God's kingdom. Evaluate which path you are currently on: the narrow path of life or the wide path of empire.Focus on building relationships and community that reflect God's love and mercy.Remember that the kingdom of God grows in unexpected and humble ways. Ultimately, the sermon serves as a call to action, inviting us to align our lives with the true teachings of Yeshua and to be known by God through genuine, transformative relationships.

  • Sermon on the Mount - False Prophets

    Sermon on the Mount - False Prophets
    2025/05/18
    trim(replace(Sermon on the Mount - False Prophets Understanding False Prophets and the Idolatry of Control During this Founded in Truth Fellowship teaching, the focus is on identifying and understanding false prophets, as outlined by Yeshua in his sermon on the mount. The speaker, potentially Matthew Vander Els, links this to modern-day situations where control and fear manipulate our actions, often leading us away from the kingdom of God. One of the critical issues discussed is the human tendency to grab onto control in response to fear. This need for control can lead to destructive behaviors in relationships and communities, driven by an inner fear that prompts us to hold onto power at any cost. We are challenged to recognize these tendencies within ourselves and to release them to God instead. The Challenge of Discernment The teaching goes into the difficulty of discerning true intentions, particularly in the context of spiritual leadership. False prophets are not always obvious and can often appear as insiders—those who outwardly seem to belong to the community but inwardly have ulterior motives. The text challenges believers to consider whether their actions and hearts align with Yeshua's kingdom values. Yeshua's words about the narrow and broad paths are revisited, emphasizing that the narrow path is difficult, unpopular, and challenging, yet leads to life. This path requires followers to live by the kingdom's counter-cultural values, prioritizing mercy, love, and justice over power and control. The Historical and Biblical Context The teaching surveys biblical history to illustrate the tension between true and false voices throughout Israel's narrative. The prophets frequently warned against corrupt leadership in Israel, likening them to wolves in sheep's clothing—vicious predators disguised as caretakers. The biblical story underscores that this is not only a theological issue but a prevalent human problem. Key biblical passages include Yeshua's warning in Matthew 7:15-20 about recognizing false prophets by their fruits, drawing a parallel with practices of religious leaders who appeared righteous but exploited their people. The connection is made between the prophets' critiques of Israel and the teachings of Yeshua, both of which emphasize ethical conduct over mere ritual adherence. False Prophets Then and Now Yeshua's metaphor of wolves in sheep's clothing is examined, revealing that false prophets won't always be identifiable by outward appearances. Wolves are known for their cunning and ability to disguise themselves within the flock, posing a substantial threat from within. This metaphor remains relevant today, warning believers of those who exploit faith for personal gain while sidestepping kingdom ethics. The imagery of trees and their fruits is used to illustrate that true intentions are revealed through actions over time. A good tree bears good fruit, while a bad tree cannot. This analogy serves as a criterion for discerning the authenticity of spiritual leaders and their alignment with God's kingdom. The Trap of Control Special emphasis is placed on how fear and past traumas can lead individuals to seek control over their environments, relationships, and even their interpretation of divine guidance. This need for control can often masquerade as religious zeal, leading individuals to justify manipulation or harsh actions in the name of faith. The speaker warns against conflating one's inner monologue with the voice of the Holy Spirit when past wounds influence perceptions and decisions. Such conflation turns personal biases into perceived divine mandates, risking harm to oneself and others. Application and Self-Reflection To counter these tendencies, believers are encouraged to embrace a lifestyle of humility, justice, and mercy—hallmarks of the narrow path. The sermon calls for introspection in moments of emotional upheaval, urging individuals to pause, reflect, and seek divine guidance before acting. This practice can prevent actions driven by fear or control from taking root. Examine your motives: Are they aligned with God's kingdom ethics or driven by fear?Beware of the subtle ways fear can influence actions and decisions.Develop discernment to recognize true and false prophets by their fruits.Practice humility and justice as foundational values in all interactions.Regularly pause for reflection and seek divine guidance in challenging situations. Conclusion The message concludes with a challenge to embody the values of Yeshua by walking the narrow path, resisting the urge to control, and bearing fruit that reflects the kingdom of God. It invites believers to confront personal fears and past traumas, ensuring they do not subtly guide actions in ways contrary to Yeshua's teachings. The overarching point of the message is a call to vigilance, both in identifying wolves in our midst and in recognizing the potential for such tendencies within ourselves. By aligning with the true ...
