    April 15, 2012 “Your Anger Kills” Matthew 5:21-26 Ultimately, the commands of God reveal the character of God. 1. Selfish anger is unacceptable to God. vv.21-22 Our anger, almost exclusively, is not in defense of truth and righteousness, it is in defense of ourselves. ...read more

    How can we be more righteous than the Pharisees and the Scribes were?

    More Righteousness Needed Please Matthew 5:20-26 This verse has certainly raised its concerns in the church over the centuries. But understanding this verse is key to understanding the Sermon on the Mount as a whole. What is Jesus saying when He says that “your righteousness must exceed that ...read more

    After All, I Didn't Kill Anybody

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 9, 2014
     | 2,797 views

    There is a good reason to avoid the near occasions of sin, but not even that is enough to make us the image of Christ.

    “What’s bothering you so much? After all, I didn’t kill anybody!” That lame excuse is often given to people who have seen another doing wrong. The wrong action could be anything short of murder. Maybe it’s a so-called “white lie,” told by somebody to ...read more

    Words have the power to destroy life, or support life. Fix relationships, and give those you love what you owe them.

    Getting Life Right: WORDS—Matthew 5:21-26 Last week, we heard what Jesus said about the enduring purpose of the Old Testament: Matthew 5:17, “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.” Then Jesus said something ...read more

    Anger can be a good thing and serve good purposes. It is a God-given emotion. However, it has a destructive side to it that can hurt people and hinder your relationship with God. Jesus gives the grace to deal with it!

    Anger Management Matthew 5:21-26 21 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Apr 6, 2020
     | 2,144 views

    Jesus says let "yes" be yes and "no" be no. Righteousness must exceed the Pharisees. They surrendered their authenticity to appear more religious. This sermon is an encouragement to live in the opposite manner.

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity Counterfeiters make over a billion dollars a year, making fake designer clothes and handbags. That billion is from the United States, not the rest of the world. These are not cheap knock offs from street vendors; they are well-made fakes. There's an ...read more

    Murder & Anger Series

    Contributed by Charl Swart on Mar 10, 2016
     | 10,627 views

    Anger is something that can ruin your life. It is the root of murder and should therefore be treated at the root. You should not act on unrighteous anger, but should live in righteousness. Jesus shows us how He filfills the Law of murder.

    INTRODUCTION “I hate you” “You are an idiot” “You are so stupid” “I wish I never married you” “I wish I never had you” “I wish I had other parents” Have you ever said these words or similar words to anyone? We all, if you are ...read more

    In the cross, Jesus illustrates the relationship that we have with God (the vertical) and others (the horizontal). It appears that God places a much higher emphasis on the horizontal than we may realize.

    Stop The Killing Spree!

    Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 12, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 8,203 views

    Killing sprees shock us with their cruelty to human life. Yet, how often do we engage in our own killing sprees, mentally murdering those with whom we are angry. Jesus calls us to stop it, and to bend over backwards to make things right with others.

    Matthew 5:21-26 Stop the Killing Spree! William Boyette, suspected of killing four women in two states, died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police standoff at a Georgia motel. Police arrested Mary Rice, his accomplice. As appalling as their little Bonnie and Clyde killing ...read more

    The Second Mile Is So Rewarding To Them That Know How.

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Feb 19, 2017
     | 5,780 views

    This sermon supports the understanding of humility, which used properly is one of the best weapons in a Christian’s arsenal; and that is by traveling a second mile on a difficult, lonely road; a road Jesus traveled, a road that he want us to travel.

    This sermon was delivered at Holy Trinity, Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on Sunday the 19th February 2017; Holy Trinity is a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries.
