    You Shall Not Murder Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021
     | 2,917 views

    The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

    Contrary to many people’s thoughts that civilization is more civilized, evidence suggests that murder is on the increase. In 1963, in Scotland, two people were convicted of murder. In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more

    [Pick up little stone.] Yeah … there’s been a lot of jokes about the risk I’m taking by handing out stones before the sermon. Look at the stone in your hand.

    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…?
