    The Jews were very troubled with grace, because they needed laws to follow; particularly as the message of the New Testament suggested that they were above the law. They were very confused just like many Christians today. So let us put Grace into context.

    More To Do As Christians

     | 2,334 views

    Often there are two attitudes a Christian has toward serving Christ. The possibility of growing wearing and why do we have to do so much.

    Most of the New Testament was written to the disciples of Christ. Jesus taught from every angle to build His disciples. These Jews knew the Old Testament. He wanted them to know that He did not come to destroy the moral laws of God, vs. 17. He actually came to add to them. His conversation went ...read more

    Sixth Sunday In Ordinary Time - 6th Sunday, Year A-- The Fence

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jan 20, 2020
     | 4,247 views

    Jesus builds a shield around the law or Commandments in order to create more space and distance so that we won’t even bump up against the fence or sit on the fence, but rather keep a healthy distance.

    There was a large group of people. On one side of the group stood a man, Jesus. On the other side of the group stood Satan. Separating them, running through the group, was a fence. The scene was set, both Jesus and Satan began calling to the people in the group and, one by one - each having made up ...read more

    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.
