Hi, friends. I am Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four

books of the New Testament and the Bible, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. These are the stories

of Jesus Christ's life on earth, the friendships, the parables, the sacrifices, the meals, the

miracles. Each month here on Let's Read the Gospels, we are reading all four books. So

go ahead, subscribe today, rate and review the show if you get a chance and jump in with

us, commit to these 30 days and let's see how our lives could be different before we

get to August. Here's how it works. I'm going to read three chapters to you today. You

can listen or read along in your own Bible, and then I'll pray. And that's it. So today

is July 10th, day 10, and I'll be reading Matthew, chapter 7 through 9. And this month

I'm reading from the CSB. Matthew 7, do not judge so that you won't be judged. For

you will be judged by the same standard with which you judge others and you will be measured

don't notice the beam of wood in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, let

me take the splinter out of your eye and look, there's a beam of wood in your own eye.

Hypocrite first, take the beam of wood out of your eye, and then you will see clearly

to take the splinter out of your brother's eye. Don't give what it's holy to dogs or

toss your pearls before pigs or they will trample them under their feet, turn and tear

you to pieces. Ask and it will be given to you. Seek and you will find knock and the

door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives and the one who seeks finds

and to the one who knocks the door will be opened. Who among you, if his son asks him

for bread, will give him a stone. Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake. If

you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children. How much more
