    Kill Sin Or Die - Matthew 5:29-30 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 14, 2024
     | 767 views

    The threat Jesus warns of here is being thrown into hell. For a lustful look? How do we reconcile that with passages that assure us that there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ?

    Matthew 5:27-30 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to ...read more

    Amputation 101 - Matthew 5:29-30 (Contd) Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 14, 2024
     | 401 views

    The key to persuading your heart to fling sin away is to become convinced that nearness to God would be more satisfying than that sin. But what do you do when the sin brings intense pleasure and the last few times you sought God in prayer or Scripture it was boring?

    Matthew 5:27-30 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 15, 2024
     | 385 views

    In this message you will learn how to fight sin in a way that is not burdensome, so that the Christian life is a life of doing what you want, rather than a life of resisting what you want.

    Matthew 5:27-30 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29 If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away.

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 16, 2024
     | 1,046 views

    The two ways to commit adultery are to look at another woman or divorce, which shows the two sides of love (delight and commitment).

    Matthew 5:31-32 "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits ...read more

    Divorce & Remarriage Pt.2: "Except For Adultery” - Matthew 5:31-32 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 16, 2024
     | 659 views

    Most of this message is devoted to explaining the meaning of “the exception clause” for divorce (“except for marital unfaithfulness”).

    Matthew 5:31-32 "It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.' 32 But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 17, 2024
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,639 views

    Everything you ever say is under oath, as if you swore by God himself that it’s true. This message will help you grasp how important truthtelling in every detail of life is. It also explains the legitimate purpose of formal oaths.

    Matthew 5:33-37 "Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34 But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35 or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or ...read more

    An Eye For An Eye - Matthew 5:38-39 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 20, 2024
     | 922 views

    It’s surprising to discover how many subtle ways we take revenge on those who hurt us. This message will help you discover them and show you the remedy Jesus gave us.

    Matthew 5:38-42 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak ...read more

    When insulted, should you just walk away? No. You must repay the person in a way that will defeat the evil in the relationship. This message will show you how.

    Matthew 5:38-42 "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' 39 But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person.

    What Are You Doing More Than Others? - Matthew 5:43-45 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 24, 2024
     | 876 views

    Matthew 5:47 …what are you doing more than others? That question speaks volumes about what the Lord expects from the Christian life. Jesus requires that citizens of His kingdom have a kind of love that is fundamentally different from the world’s kind of love.

    Matthew 5:43-48 You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 24, 2024
     | 1,406 views

    Jesus made a comment that shook the world and has captivated the attention of mankind for 2000 years. “Love your enemies.” If they are enemies, how can I love them? And if I love them, how can they be enemies?

    Matthew 5:43 You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 27, 2024
     | 850 views

    We all know hypocrisy is evil. But few people understand the remedy Jesus gave. How does living for reward cure the disease of hypocrisy?

    Matthew 6:1-18 "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the ...read more

    Giving & Reward - Matthew 6:2 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 27, 2024
     | 429 views

    Why does Jesus tell us to give, fast, and pray in secret, when earlier in the sermon he had commanded that we do our acts of righteousness before men to be seen by them? This message will give you a new way of looking at the commands to live for reward.

    2 Corinthians 9:6-11 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make ...read more

    One-Handed Giving - Matthew 6:3-4 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 27, 2024
     | 782 views

    Jesus spends so much time in Matthew 6 and other places trying to get us to be motivated by eternal rewards. Why are so few Christians still not motivated by reward?

    Matthew 6:1-18 "Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 "So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the ...read more

    Go To Your Room - Matthew 6:5-6 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2024
     | 1,039 views

    Why does God promise reward for private prayer? And how can you make your daily prayer time the most enjoyable part of your day, instead of a drudgery or chore that is dry and boring? This message will help you actually look forward to your prayer time each day and come away closer to God.

    Matthew 6:5-16 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your ...read more

    Prayin’ Like A Pagan - Matthew 6:7-8 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 30, 2024
     | 665 views

    How would you naturally finish this sentence: “God already knows what you need before you ask him, therefore ____.” The conclusion Jesus finishes that sentence gives us great insight into how to pray in a way that truly communes with God, rather than just saying dry words.

    Matthew 6:5-8 And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your ...read more
