     | 5,195 views

    How high is up? Current cultural trends challenges every person to find a life goal worth living and standards by which we should live to achieve that goal.

    This sermon, "It Begins In The Heart," is part of the Sermon on the Mount series and deals with how God looks at the attitude of our heart as much as he looks at our actions.

    Sermon on the Mount “It Begins in the Heart” Matthew 5:21-30 Before we begin it’s important we review Jesus’ last statement, and what we learned is that Jesus didn’t come to abolish or invalidate the Law, but to fulfill it, that is, to bring it to completion. And what ...read more

    After All, I Didn't Kill Anybody

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jul 9, 2014
     | 2,670 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

    To harbor anger is murder. To attempt to worship while you harbor anger is not just useless, it is Hypocrisy and In reality it is also blasphemy

    I. Introduction A. A woman was taking her time browsing through everything at a friend's yard sale, and said to her, "My husband is going to be very angry I stopped at a yard sale." "I'm sure he'll understand when you tell him about all the bargains you found," her friend replied. "Normally, ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 12 - Am I Going To Hell Just For Being Angry? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 1, 2010
    based on 11 ratings
     | 9,319 views

    Jesus is talking to His disciples on the mountain and this is the leadership lesson!- Get mad at someone and curse him and you go to hell! Wooh! How do you feel with this encouraging word so far?

    Matthew 5 - Part 12 - AM I GOING TO HELL JUST FOR BEING ANGRY? I have always wondered about the statement Jesus makes in Matthew 5:21-26. There are some pretty strong statements made like... Murder someone and you’ll go to court but "if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to ...read more

    Matthew 5 - Part 13 - Am I Going To Hell For Calling Someone A Fool? Series

    Contributed by Ross Cochrane on Jan 3, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 10,975 views

    Does calling your brother a fool make you guilty of hell. Is this what Jesus means? The NASB softens it down by adding the words "guilty ENOUGH TO GO into the fiery hell." but literally it says "whoever says ‘Fool’ will be sent to fiery hell"

    Matthew 5 - Part 13 - AM I GOING TO HELL FOR CALLING SOMEONE A FOOL? I’ve been thinking about "Murder". Not committing murder but the subject of "murder". Jesus uses "murder" as a teaching unit on the mountain for His disciples. But He takes the view that it’s what happens on the inside that ...read more

    The Seriousness Of Forgiveness

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 16, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 11,562 views

    We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.

    THE SERIOUSNESS OF FORGIVENESS Last week we looked into the subject of forgiveness. I started by saying we first had to answer the question of whether or not we want to forgive. And if we do we need to determine how to go about it. We looked at Paul's words in Eph., and Col. and saw that we are ...read more
