    Jesus goes beyond the legal matters again. The CASE you have against someone is not as important as the RELATIONSHIP you have with them. Jesus emphasizes that the RELATIONSHIP IS ALWAYS MORE IMPORTANT. Sometimes we don’t want it to be more important.

    Matthew 5 - Part 14 - WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE HATES YOU? I remember years ago that a man wrote a nasty letter to me and included in it a curse and all kinds of false accusations. To this day, I don’t know why he wrote it. It was so vicious and untrue, but he had built up a case against me and ...read more

    Are we frightened into a relationship with God out of fear of hell or are we fascinated with having a personal relationship with God? This sermon looks at both Isaiah 43:1-7 and Luke 3:15-17; 21-22 to find an answer to this question.
