1. Today we’re covering one of the most counter-culture passages in all of the Bible. Really it’s the teaching that separates Christianity from everything else. In Matthew 5:38-48, Jesus has the nerve, the audacity to command us to let go of our need for revenge and to love our ...read more

Contributed on Aug 31, 2011
1. Matthew 7:24-29.
1. Matthew 7:24-29. Jesus wraps up the sermon on the mount w/ a pretty nice ending. 2. This is such a great way to end a sermon. Basically, Jesus has been preaching for 30 minutes or so and he comes to his invitation, his conclusion. And to end his msg., Jesus says, “alright, that was my ...read more
