    In this sixth beatitude, we must understand the standard Jesus is setting with the with the phrase "pure in heart.". If we set the standard too low, we fail to enter into the fullness of the blessing. If we set it too high we forsake the pursuit as futile.

    Intro We are studying the Beatitudes with an interest in how to position ourselves for revival. What attitudes of heart are conducive to experiencing more of God’s grace and participating in what he is doing. The Beatitudes provide insight for participating in the kingdom of God because this is the ...read more

    JESUS AND THE LAW. Matthew 5:17-26. MATTHEW 5:17.

    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…? To some, the discrepancy between the two may be seen as hypocrisy. The idea of saying one thing and doing another. Have you ever done anything like that? The truth is ...read more

     | 1,357 views

    Anger is the impulse to strike out - either with words or with actions - at whatever threatens us, or threatens something we value. Anger is an impulse to destruction. Anger is in stark contrast to the commandment to love, which brings life.

    Have you ever caught yourself looking at your reflection in a shop window? I have to confess that I sometimes do. I'll wager there's not one person in this room who doesn't take at least one good look at him or herself in the mirror every day. Maybe you don't care much. But you ...read more

    Exceeding Expectations Series

     | 6,112 views

    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

    Heed God's Counsel

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 19, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 40 views

    God counsels us through His Word, His people and through the promptings of the Holy Spirit. There are important lessons we can learn from Lot’s wife, Cain and Jehoshaphat on the consequences of disobedience to God’s counsel. Implicit obedience to the Lord is the secret to a life of peace.

    The key verse for today’s meditation is taken from Joshua 3:5, “Then Joshua said to the people, “Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”” (ESV) As Joshua led the people of Israel he admonished them that God was willing to do wonders amongst them, but that in order ...read more

    Why would Jesus seemingly praise the Pharisees saying our righteousness should exceed theirs? Why would I need to compare my righteousness to that of men that Jesus despised?
