The Greater Righteousness - Matthew 5:20-21 Series

Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 3, 2024

How can Jesus say anger is equivalent to murder? Killing a human being has such greater consequences and is so much more extreme. This message will show how the two sins have the same DNA and will expose how even our best efforts to obey God’s Word can degenerate into legalism.

Matthew 5:19-26 Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness ...read more

God’s Righteousness Is Better Than We Could Ever Dream.

Contributed by Grant Van Boeschoten on Apr 5, 2017

Paul desperately wanted to know God’s righteousness working throughout his life. He wanted to grow day by day. We see what the Holy Spirit gave Paul to write about not just knowing about God’s righteousness, but living and experiencing it as well.

The Problem of Sin is worse than we thought, but God’s righteousness is better than we could ever dream. Do you ever dream about what your life would look like if you had God’s righteousness flowing in every part of who you are? (What is Righteousness? Doing right things, for the right reasons, ...read more
