    Contributed by Rick Crandall on Apr 23, 2014
     | 5,563 views

    God calls us to the highest standards: 1. Always be believable (vs. 33-37). 2. Bend over backwards for other people (vs. 38-42). 3. Make sure you belong to the Father's family (vs. 43-48).

    Towards the end of the Sermon on the mount Jesus gives His disciples the imperative to Love Our Enemies. In this message we consider the Who, What, Why and How of loving our enemies.

    Love Your Enemies Matt 5: 43-48; Luke 6: 27-36 Intro – The word ‘disciple’ Gk word in NT appears 270x - means ‘thought accompanied by endeavour’ - it means to ‘adhere to’ to ‘stick to’; ‘follow’ NT 90x. Christian = disciple, ...read more

    "Love Your Enemies”- "So Easy To Say!”

     | 4,981 views

    “The Christian principle, Love your enemies is good. There is nothing to be said against it except that it is too difficult for most of us to practice sincerely.” (Divine Conspiracy) Bertrand Russell Beatitudes not only call us to “love our enemies and do good to them” How Can I?

    In Jesus Holy Name February 20, 2022 Luke 6:27 “Love Your Enemies”- “So Easy to Say!” General Robert E.

    Eye for an Eye Matthew 5 Good Morning Church Please turn with me to the book of Matthew chapter 5. What does Jesus have to say about the attitude of an eye for an eye?

    Forgiving Difficult People Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Oct 30, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,837 views

    Jesus taught about dealing with difficult people. He stressed how we should not run away from our problems, or fight back against opposition, but that we should persist with people, so we can one day win them to faith in Christ.

    There is nothing easy about the world in which we live. This is a world full of people, and if we are going to succeed in life, or be effective at sharing the gospel, we must learn how to deal with people, especially those who are difficult; and we must learn to love them no matter how they treat ...read more

     | 1,550 views

    We as Christians should exhibit Christian behavior, which cannot be done without the help of Christ. Turning the other cheek is easier said than done.

    THE PRACTICE OF LOVING OUR ENEMIES Text: Matthew 5:38 - 48 Matthew 5:38-48  "You have heard that it was said, 'An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.'  (39)  But I say to you, Do not resist an evildoer. But if anyone strikes you on the right cheek, turn the ...read more

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 1, 2021
     | 2,815 views

    Most of us have, at some point, desired to get even with those who have wronged us. There is something within our human nature that desires to “return the favor.” These attitudes are contrary to God's will for our lives.

    A Word Concerning Confrontation Matthew 5: 38-42 As we continue our study in the Sermon on the Mount, we come to a passage that we all have heard a portion of quoted many times in our lives: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. This is often quoted in anger, or in a desire to repay a wrong ...read more

    Love Beyond Limits Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Dec 8, 2021
     | 4,484 views

    Just as it was in Jesus’ day, many have a perception of love, but it is not love as God commands. Much of what we see today described as love does not fit the biblical model for love.

    Love beyond Limits Matthew 5: 43-48 As we close out the fifth chapter of Matthew, we are getting close to the midway point of the great sermon Jesus preached. For the past several weeks we have considered various contrasts Jesus made regarding time honored traditions and the reality of what God ...read more

    Bless Like You Never Been Hurt Series

     | 4,894 views

    What is our natural response when someone hurts us? I can think of two. The first is to get back at the person in some way for what they have done to us. The second natural response is to say that I will have nothing more to do with them. God's response is that I am to bless them.

    Introduction Today, I want us to move our priestly duty of being a channel of blessings to a higher level. It might be easy for some of you to bless a stranger; it might be easy for some of you to bless a family member; it might be easy for you to bless a fellow church member. But I would dare say ...read more

    The Power Of Forgivness Series

     | 5,495 views

    If you are a genuine Christian, you will be both willing and able to forgive others. According to Jesus, when you say, “I cannot or will not forgive,” you’re essentially saying, “I am thinking about going to hell.”

    We are in the last installment of a sermon series entitled Digging Deeper. Our goal is to answer this question: WHAT makes Christianity more “sticky” in some? What is the PROOF that determines if a person truly follows Christ? Or, What makes a Christian a Christian? We lose a lot of items in ...read more

    Jesus tells us that he will not miss the pain and suffering, because that is an integral part of our fallen human nature, and he was like us in all things except sin.

    Monday of 11th Week in Course Church from Eucharist Today’s reading from Matthew makes me squirm a bit. Maybe you, too. In modern English, we might say, if someone takes your shirt, go to your closet and give him your sport coat as well. That’s not to mention the radical call to nonviolence we ...read more
