    Jesus redirects some misconstrued Scriptures.

    I. RESIST NOT EVIL. Matthew 5:38-42. MATTHEW 5:38. Oh - it is hard - but “eye for eye, tooth for tooth” belongs to the law courts (cf. Leviticus 24:20), not to personal vendettas. MATTHEW 5:39a. Jesus rather enjoins, “Resist not evil.” MATTHEW 5:39b. Traditionally, the slap across the cheek ...read more

    Kingdom Keys - Ezra Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on May 22, 2023

     | 2,093 views

    To fully restore our connection to God, we must become aware of our sins, admit them to another and act in a way which totally removes the sin and its tempters from our presence quickly. Any compromise robs us of a true connection to our God.

    So maybe you’ve heard it said, ‘read your bible’ so you tried and failed. Our hope as leaders is that all of us will pick up God’s word and come to understand the true nature of God. After all, the bible is God’s Word curated over centuries detailing His nature, His will, the meaning of life and ...read more

    Let’s discuss a topic that has permeated our modern society and has devastating effects on the lives of believers - pornography. It is important for us to understand the dangers associated with this pervasive issue.

    1. Guarding Our Hearts: Proverbs 4:23 states, "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." Engaging in pornography exposes our hearts to impurity and corrupts our thought life, leading to destructive behaviors and attitudes. 2. Sexual Purity: Hebrews 13:4 ...read more

    Jesus said that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees. This means that He wants us to exceed the spiritual expectations prescribed by the Law; as we are to strive for excellence in our walk with God.

    I have entitled our message, “Exceeding Expectations,” and I want to begin by sharing a true story. A contractor in Mexico was hired to build a Catholic Church, but he used cheap materials in order to make more money. He reasoned that the quality of the materials did not matter, so long as the ...read more

    Every bit of Jesus’ previous statements in the Sermon on the Mount have been about the life and attitudes of his followers. How a disciple might act. What a believer seeks in his or her life. Today, Jesus makes some statements about himself and his purpose here on earth.
