Summary
In this powerful episode of Amen Podcast, Alex explores what it truly means to be trustworthy and content with God's provision. Diving deep into the biblical story of Lot, Abraham's nephew, Alex reveals how one moment of deception can spiral into devastating consequences.
Through Lot's journey from Abraham's side to the corrupt city of Sodom and his tragic ending, we discover what happens when we choose deceit and covetousness over contentment and truth. Alex connects this cautionary tale to the 9th and 10th commandments, showing how Jesus exemplifies the opposite of Lot's character—being completely trustworthy, truthful, and content with His mission.
The episode culminates with a powerful message of hope, explaining how Jesus "switched places" with us on the cross, taking the punishment we deserve so we can be freed from the destructive cycle of lies and discontent. Whether you're struggling with comparison culture, resentment, or honesty, this teaching offers both warning and redemption for today's challenges.
Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of biblical truth that will challenge you to examine your heart and find freedom in Christ's sacrifice

| 0:00.0 | I met Hey Church. Welcome to Amen podcast where we preach the good news of Jesus Christ and |
| 0:08.6 | how it applies to everyday life. I'm looking on your host and today my husband Alex is preaching |
| 0:13.8 | about contentment. We're looking at Matthew chapter 5 verses 27 through 32. I'll go ahead and |
| 0:21.4 | read those verses and then Alex will take it from there. But before we do, a couple announcements. |
| 0:28.8 | We need a we need a new car because we do not fit not this truck that we're in right now on |
| 0:34.8 | the side of the road. Welcome. This is our podcast truck, but we have another car. That's a family |
| 0:39.4 | car that we just have too many kids and we we want to be fruitful and multiply. We have decided |
| 0:46.4 | that we want to keep on having children, but we just can't fit. And so if you could pray for us, |
| 0:50.8 | we're trying to get an old old or low mileage land cruiser so that we can all fit and all go |
| 0:58.3 | together not have to take two cars everywhere we go. And so if God puts it on your heart to |
| 1:03.4 | give us your old grandma's old land cruiser, that'd be great. But if you just want to pray for us |
| 1:09.5 | or support us at amenpodcast.com, that would be so helpful and so amazing. And with that said, |
| 1:15.2 | let's get into it. Verse 27, the laws of Moses said, you shall not commit adultery. But I say |
| 1:23.7 | anyone who even looks at a woman with lust in his eye has already committed adultery with her |
| 1:28.8 | in his heart. So if your eye, even if it is your best eye, causes you to lust, gouge it out and |
| 1:35.3 | throw it away. Better for part of you to be destroyed than for all of you to be cast into hell. |
| 1:41.2 | And if your hand, even your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. |
| 1:46.4 | Better than better that than find yourself in hell. The law of Moses says, if anyone wants to |
| 1:53.2 | be rid of his wife, he can divorce her merely by giving her a letter of dismissal. But I say that |
| 1:59.0 | a man who divorces his wife except for fornication causes her to commit adultery if she marries again |
| 2:05.5 | and he who marries her commits adultery. Amen. So we're going to talk about why we need |
| 2:10.4 | contentment, why we haven't found contentment and how to find contentment. First, |
