Jesus teaches on lust. It isn't something preachers generally like to speak about but it's really important. Jesus shows how God's commandment on adultery needs to be practised and he tells us how we can do it.
Western society is completely comfortable talking about sex. Most people think a lot about sex. Especially men. The Bible talks a lot about sex too. Most preachers, however, do not like to talk about sex. When preachers preach on the Sermon on the Mount, they talk about the Beatitudes. There ...read more

Who better to give a commentary on the Old Testament than it's author, Jesus? Let's look at the Spirit of the law in Matthew 5.
The best commentary on the Old Testament is by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. In each case we learn several things, 1) the Spirit of the law, 2) our utter failure to live up to it, and 3) our need for forgiveness and mercy. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s ...read more

Some say that the Bible does not mention masturbation or self-gratification or “solo sex,” as it’s sometimes called. They say that it is silent on the subject and that the Bible does not state whether or not masturbation is a sin.
I was asked about masturbation and what I thought of it. He then offered up, “Why is masturbation classed as a sin?” “I’m on Christian sites where people are saying that it’s all wrong and that you shouldn’t being stuff like that but surely God wants us to love either with a partner or ourself.” ...read more

What are the advantages of being faithfulness to God, the other, and the self?
Reflection The readings of today (1 Kings 19:9a;11-16, Matthew 5:27-32), call each one of us to reflect on the topic: Faithfulness. Faithfulness to God, means living the Covenantal relationship with God, being in touch with Him all the time or being aware of His presence all the time, wherever ...read more

In times like these, when the whole world seems to have "heart trouble", mature Christians must deal with "hot button" issues by getting to the real heart of the matter as taught by the Lord Jesus in word and in deed.
GETTING TO THE HEART OF THE MATTER “If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do it, too?” If I heard it once, I heard it a thousand times growing up. The point is: Just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t make it ...read more
The text is a portion of the Sermon on the Mount, and a distinct biblical doctrine, that is often overlooked and even ignored. In this portion of His message Jesus dealt with the immorality of adultery and emphasized the importance of morality among believers.

What about those who can truly claim faithfulness in marriage, before and during? What did Jesus say?
Like murder can exist in our hearts when we don't value other people's lives, how many of us have truly been unfaithful to a spouse? Probably more have been unfaithful before or during marriage than have committed actual murder, but what about those who can truly claim faithfulness in ...read more

Address the issue of lust, its destructive consequences, and the path to freedom that God provides.
Good morning, Church family. Today, we're going to tackle an issue that's as old as humanity itself, yet as relevant as the latest headline. We're going to talk about the lust trap – the seductive allure that's snagged many a soul, the destructive consequences it brings, and the liberating path to ...read more

This sermon explores the challenging journey of faith, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a Christ-like heart and persevering in righteousness, as Jesus reinterprets primary teachings from the Rabbis of His time.
How important are the true motives of the heart? And how important is it that your actions align with your motives, values, etc…? To some, the discrepancy between the two may be seen as hypocrisy. The idea of saying one thing and doing another. Have you ever done anything like that? The truth is ...read more
