Spirit Of The Law Part 1

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 27, 2023

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

"Murderers, Tramps, And Liars”

Contributed by David Roth on Feb 12, 2023

Epiphany 6. In His sermon on the mount, Jesus expounds on murder, adultery, and lying. He makes it clear that these sins are significant, that they reach, infect, and pervade us all, so that there is no righteousness in us, and our righteousness must be found in Him.

Legal Counsel For Christians Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Aug 4, 2023

Jesus provides counsel on domestic disputes, sex crimes, adultery and divorce; and He even says something that can be applied to swearing on the Bible in a court of law. Jesus, being part of the court of heaven, knows about legal matters!

I have entitled our message for this morning, “Legal Counsel for Christians.” You may not realize it, but the Bible is full of courtroom imagery. The most noteworthy example is the great white throne of judgement seen in the book of Revelation (20:11-15). Did you know that Jesus will be there ...read more

The Cause And Cure Of Divorce

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

Where lust is in power divorce will rise. Where lust is controlled by love divorce will subside. There is a direct connection between lust control and divorce.

Jo Fleming in her book His Affair reveals that almost every sinful emotion and action known to man is kindled by lust that is not controlled. Her husband of 26 years went to the apartment of a woman he worked with to return some books. This was an action he could have avoided, but he chose not ...read more

Sermon On The Mount # 4 What Are You Looking At?

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on May 26, 2022

The seventh commandment deals with adultery. This commandment defends the sanctity of the home. The Bible has a great deal to say about the sanctity of marriage.

However, because adultery is widespread across this country, many pastors know that if they preach on such a subject, it may cause some serious problems in their church. But a pastor that is called to preach the Word of God, does not make his decisions based on what the congregation wants to ...read more
