    Core 52 Week 18 - Finding True Righteousness Series

    Contributed by Lanny Smith on May 13, 2020
     | 1,697 views

    How do we know the right thing to do? We get lots of advice from family, friends, media, you name it. But what direction do we truly trust to guide us into right thinking and right behaviors? Jesus shows us the way in the Sermon on the Mount.

    You can listen to the sermon audio on my podcast at: https://PastorLanny.buzzsprout.com Intro: (Preached on Mother’s Day, 2020) • Good/Bad advice from Mom. • Bad: o “If you see a bear and don’t have time to run away, hug it. Bears cannot scratch their stomachs.” o “Always weave a little, and all ...read more

    Getting Life Right: Re-Cycling Relationships Series

     | 2,908 views

    1) Break the Cycle of Retribution, 2) Start a New Cycle of Love. "What goes around comes around" is not the final answer. Love graciously as God loves.

    Getting Life Right: RE-CYCLING RELATIONSHIPS—Matthew 5:38-48 Most relationships follow a simple rule: “What goes around comes around.” If interactions between people are going in a positive direction, the relationship thrives, with reciprocal affirmation, encouragement, cooperation, and kindness. ...read more

     | 2,600 views

    Where is the endless mercy and compassion of the God of the Covenant?

    Tuesday of the Eleventh Week in Course 2020 For those who knew the promise God made through Moses as the Israelites journeyed through the desert, what was happening to Israel about 870 years before Christ was a great puzzle. God had revealed Himself as One full of tender mercy and compassion to ...read more

    Love your enemies

    There is a sign in the Princeton University Store basement which cleverly suggests: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Jesus’ ethical teaching is higher than this example because love of enemies is not a consequentialist ethic, hoping that the other person will change. Love ...read more

    Be who God created you to be.

    “The Heart of God” Matthew 5:38-48 This morning’s Gospel Lesson is right-smack in the middle of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. It is Jesus’ first big sermon, and it is aimed—primarily—at Jesus’ disciples, a group of folks who have only recently started following Him. They are this motley crew of ...read more

    Love Them?

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Feb 24, 2020
     | 3,392 views

    Loving God. I can do. Loving your neighbor. I will try, especially if they are fellow Christians. Loving your enemy. I don't if I can do that. How does a person love their enemy?

    Love Them? (Matt. 5:43-48) Intro: A. I want to start this lesson with a word found at the end of our reading. It’s the word “perfect.” “You therefore must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.” That calling seems to be impossible, so how could Jesus call upon us to be at the level ...read more

    Love, Faithfulness, Righteousness, Peace And Kissing???

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Sep 30, 2020
     | 2,895 views

    Psalm 85:10 is a tiny verse found almost directly in the middle of the Bible. This verse holds the key to a holy life and it tells us how to find it in a most poetic way.

    Love, Faithfulness, Righteousness, Peace and Kissing Today we will be reading from Psalm 23 Today we will be looking at Peace What is peace? How can I get me some of that??? The world thinks they know. Today I typed “how to find peace” into my duck-duck-go search bar and this is what came ...read more

    Disciples Go The Second Mile

     | 6,925 views

    This message looks at what is behind Jesus' command for us to go the second mile. It's in the second mile that Jesus is most often glorified.

    Disciples Go The Second Mile Genesis 24:1-9 Matthew 5:38-48 Text Genesis 24:9-20 How many of us are “it must be fair” kind of people? We are not going to do anything unless its fair or we are treated fairly. We show up to do something for God and then get angry because not enough showed up so we ...read more

    A sermon examining Jesus' teaching about the condition of one's heart.

    THE HEART OF THE MATTER Matthew 5:21-48 There is a rare congenital heart defect that occurs in 1 in 12,000 pregnancies called Dextrocardia.

    Forgiving Difficult People Series

     | 4,304 views

    Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

    There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

    We as Christians should exhibit Christian behavior, which cannot be done without the help of Christ. Turning the other cheek is easier said than done.

    THE PRACTICE OF LOVING OUR ENEMIES Text: Matthew 5:38 - 48 Matthew 5:38-48  "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'  (39)  But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the ...read more

    Love Beyond Limits Series

     | 3,959 views

    Just as it was in Jesus’ day, many have a perception of love, but it is not love as God commands. Much of what we see today described as love does not fit the biblical model for love.

    Love beyond Limits Matthew 5: 43-48 As we close out the fifth chapter of Matthew, we are getting close to the midway point of the great sermon Jesus preached. For the past several weeks we have considered various contrasts Jesus made regarding time honored traditions and the reality of what God ...read more

    In probably his most radical command to us, Jesus tells us to love our enemies. How’s it going with that, dear Christian?

    Scripture Reading: Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven.
