    "Be Perfect” Series

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jul 9, 2022
     | 3,794 views

    Jesus said, 'You therefore must be perfect'. What an unreasonable demand! And yet, there are so many reasons to strive for it.

    INTRODUCTION We’re continuing in our series in the Sermon on the Mount. In our passage for today, Jesus starts by saying, ‘Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.’ What do you think of that!? Back in March I told you about an interview I heard on Radio 4. The reporter was ...read more

    A New Way Of Responding Series

    Contributed by Chuck Gohn on Jul 12, 2022
     | 1,620 views

    The focus of this sermon is on Jesus' teaching on what the normal auto-response is to various situations in life, and contrasting it with what a Kingdom response would look like.

    We are continuing our series called The Story; God’s story as told through the people, places, and events of the Bible. As you may be aware, the last few weeks we have been focusing on the New Testament portion of the story. Specifically the story of Jesus. The ministry and the miracles of ...read more

     | 2,648 views

    Matthew 5:43–48 continues Jesus' teaching on love and humility, a part of the Sermon on the Mount. After commanding believers not to seek revenge in the face of insults, Jesus expands the idea of love to include one's enemies.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5:43-48 (Loving Enemies) MATTHEW 5:43-48 43 You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven.

    Sermon on the Mount - Matthew 5

    Matthew 5:13-14 (Jesus Teaches about Salt and Light) If a seasoning has no flavor, it has no value. If Christians make no effort to affect the world around them, they are of little value to God. If we are too much like the world, we are worthless. Christians should not blend in with everyone ...read more

    More To Do As Christians

    Contributed by Grant Adams on Dec 27, 2019
     | 2,718 views

    Often there are two attitudes a Christian has toward serving Christ. The possibility of growing wearing and why do we have to do so much.

    Most of the New Testament was written to the disciples of Christ. Jesus taught from every angle to build His disciples. These Jews knew the Old Testament. He wanted them to know that He did not come to destroy the moral laws of God, vs. 17. He actually came to add to them. His conversation went ...read more

    Step Eight - Its A List Dummy Series

    Contributed by Robert Butler on Jan 8, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,794 views

    Step eight comes across as a fairly easy step at first glance. I only need to transfer my list of people, places and things from step 5 and be willing to change. The “big book” offers all of three sentences so maybe it is that easy. NOT!

    Love your enemies

    There is a sign in the Princeton University Store basement which cleverly suggests: "Love your enemies—it will drive them crazy." Jesus’ ethical teaching is higher than this example because love of enemies is not a consequentialist ethic, hoping that the other person will change. Love ...read more

    Leave The Weed

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 8, 2020
     | 4,483 views

    "Weeding the garden" is something we believe is a good thing, but many times doing this can destroy the good roots around them. Jesus helps us grasp why working to remove the 'weeds' from your life is not necessarily His way of leading you.

    Right… at first glance you may quickly think I am going to try convincing you how wrong it is to smoke marijuana… or to do drugs of any kind. No… this is not that kind of ‘weed removal’ encouragement… although… wait… OK… I’ll refrain! Rather, this is an admonition to be careful about being SO ...read more

    “The Heart of God” Matthew 5:38-48 This morning’s Gospel Lesson is right-smack in the middle of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.

    By Grace Alone Series

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Oct 2, 2017
     | 10,330 views

    Grace refers to God lavishing us with free gifts, His undeserved and unearned favor. His gifts include salvation, forgiveness of sins, endurance, strengthening and encouragement, the virtues he develops in us, and a host of other gracious gifts.

    By Grace Alone (Romans 11:6, 4:16, Ephesians 2:8-9) 1. There is a joke on the net that makes a good point about salvation by grace. A man dies and goes to heaven. The admittance angel meets him at the pearly gates. The angel says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. ...read more

    God has called us to be peacemakers. What is involved with that?

    ESTABLISHING PEACE THRU GOD 1. GOD’S DESIRE FOR PEACE. Rom 12:18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. It takes 1 person to purse peace, but it takes at least 2 to have peace. Your duty is to pursue it, but you can’t force the other party to agree. 2. GOD’S PLAN ...read more

    Can Loving God And Our Neighbours Be Made Easier?

    based on 3 ratings
     | 11,475 views

    We are all obsessed by receiving love, it is natural, yet God wants us to radiate love, his love; but to radiate love we need to receive it. How and why should we do this?

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 29th October 2017 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries).

    There is no other religion that is so bold as to require forgiveness of enemies, and even doing good for enemies.

    Tuesday of 11th Week in Course 2019 Ss Mark and Marcellian Those who would reduce the status of Jesus Christ to that of a “nice guy who did good things and said nice things” should read this part of St. Matthew’s Gospel several times.
