The Second Mile Is So Rewarding To Them That Know How.

Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Feb 19, 2017

This sermon supports the understanding of humility, which used properly is one of the best weapons in a Christian’s arsenal; and that is by traveling a second mile on a difficult, lonely road; a road Jesus traveled, a road that he want us to travel.

This is Part 9 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus in what is familiarly known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” In this part Jesus speaks of righteousness exceeding that of the scribes and Pharisees; murder, divorce, and oaths - and a better way.

Getting To The Heart Of The Matter Series

Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Aug 2, 2019

Jesus taught His followers to prove their love by purity of living that flows from the heart.

“If everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do it, too?” If I heard it once, I heard it a thousand times growing up. The point is: Just because everyone else is doing it doesn’t make it right. However, Christian perspective on the subject of Christian distinctiveness presents to some ...read more

Purity Exam Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 19, 2021

In order to be pure in heart we must understand: 1) The deed of adultery (Matthew 5:27), 2) The desire behind It (Matthew 5:28), and thereby achieve: 3) The deliverance from it (Matthew 5:29-30).

Matthew 5:27-30 [27]"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' [28] But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ([29] If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it ...read more

Should A Christian Keep The Law? (Pt. 2) Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Sep 1, 2021

Why do Christians seem to keep all Ten Commandments except the Sabbath? This message addresses the difference in the way New Testament deals with Old Testament moral versus ceremonial laws.

We are answering the question: Should a Christian Keep the Law? The biblical answer is yes and no. We should keep the moral commandments that are rooted in the immutable nature of God. God is holy. God is a moral being who holds people morally accountable. God does not change. So, the moral ...read more

What Makes Jesus' Yoke Light? (Matthew 11:1-30) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Feb 7, 2022

Jesus' expectations are high (Matthew 5-7). So how can he say his yoke is a light burden? Jesus' yoke is not optional, and not secondary. You come to Jesus, in part, by taking on his yoke.

What makes Jesus' yoke light? (Matthew 11:1-30) We were doing family devotions the other night, and I was so proud of two of them, and found their insights so helpful, that I thought I'd sidetrack for a week and just make a record of this for myself.

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
