    In this sermon we look at the call to peacemaking, the need for peacemaking and the how of peacemaking.

    Introduction: A. The story is told of a young girl who was working so diligently on her homework that her father became curious and asked her what she was doing. 1. She said, “I’m writing a report on how to bring peace to the world.” 2. Humored by this, her father smiled and ...read more

    Jesus went to the grave and back for us, as followers of Him we are expected, and should be willing, to go the extra mile for His sake.

    A Second Mile Servant 05/31/09 Text: Matthew 5:38-48 Introduction “If someone forces you to go one mile…” This concept came out of old Persia and refers to the authority given by the king to those sent to do his bidding. If a courier or soldier needed assistance in fulfilling the ...read more

    Something is missing from the church today, and people are starting to notice. Too often the church fails to offer what it advertises: life.

    3. The Greatest Commandment February 28, 2010 Love your Enemy Mrs. Jones wanted her fourth grade class to learn some valuable life lessons so one day she gave them an assignment. Each student was instructed to get their parents to tell them a story and they would be expected to find the moral of ...read more

    A look at the difficult command to love our enemies.

    What “Love Your Enemy” Is. . . And Isn’t: - Matthew 5:44. a. It is not excusing their actions, - Often those who are our enemies have done things to us that have hurt us. Many people misunderstand Jesus’ command to forgive as a call to excuse their actions. - ...read more

    How Can I "Be Perfect As God Is Perfect"? Series

    What did Jesus mean when He called us to be perfect?

    A Supremely Baptist Excuse: “I’m just a sinner saved by grace.” This is something that we love saying and we mean it as a way to emphasize that there is no way to earn your way to heaven. That is absolutely true – salvation can only come by grace through faith. Too often, ...read more

    Heaven’s High Standard

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 10, 2010

     | 4,434 views

    Matthew shows us Jesus as the preacher of the kingdom of heaven. He shows us just how high heavens standards are and how to properly understand the law. Be perfect, like your Father! That’s the whole point.

    Matthew seems to have been written to a Jewish community under fire for their faith. He talks about the kingdom of heaven in ways that suggest how hard it is to enter. The beatitudes begin and end with words that describe hardship and persecution. Why? Probably because that is what those were ...read more

    On The Sermon On The Mount

     | 8,254 views

    A classic sermon by St. Augustine on the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5.

    Chapter 1 1. If any one will piously and soberly consider the sermon which our Lord Jesus Christ spoke on the mount, as we read it in the Gospel according to Matthew, I think that he will find in it, so far as regards the highest morals, a perfect standard of the Christian life: and this we do not ...read more

    Our behavior should reflect our relationship with the perfect God, rather than our relationships with imperfect people.

    Once upon a time, long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, that passage from Matthew changed my life. Well, it wasn’t another galaxy, exactly, but it was certainly another world. And it certainly feels like a longtime ago. I started working for the Pillsbury Company over 30 years ago. ...read more

    The Call To Perfect Love

    Jesus calls us to love even our enemies. Thus we imitate the perfect love of the Father, and the perfect example of the Son.

    THE CALL TO PERFECT LOVE. Matthew 5:43-48. The last of the six famous parentheses (Matthew 5:21-48) between “Ye have heard that it hath been said” (Matthew 5:43), and “But I say unto you” (Matthew 5:44) - addresses the most blatantly misconstrued of these man-made interpretations of Scripture. ...read more

    Love your enemies! Wow that is not such an easy command to obey. It is much easier to take revenge. But that is not what we are asked to do as believers. What is this loving my enemies all about?

    Four Paths To Happiness--Two Are Dead-Ends

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 9, 2014
     | 3,248 views

    Of the four roads supposed to lead to happiness, two are dead-ends--the pursuit of pleasure and the pursuit of honor and power--but the paths of service and union with God actually get us there.

    Do you hate your enemy? That's logical, but not biblical.
