Anger can be a good thing and serve good purposes. It is a God-given emotion. However, it has a destructive side to it that can hurt people and hinder your relationship with God. Jesus gives the grace to deal with it!

Never Surrender Your Authenticity

Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Apr 6, 2020

Jesus says let "yes" be yes and "no" be no. Righteousness must exceed the Pharisees. They surrendered their authenticity to appear more religious. This sermon is an encouragement to live in the opposite manner.

Never Surrender Your Authenticity Counterfeiters make over a billion dollars a year, making fake designer clothes and handbags. That billion is from the United States, not the rest of the world. These are not cheap knock offs from street vendors; they are well-made fakes. There's an ...read more

Contributed by Charl Swart on Mar 10, 2016

Anger is something that can ruin your life. It is the root of murder and should therefore be treated at the root. You should not act on unrighteous anger, but should live in righteousness. Jesus shows us how He filfills the Law of murder.

Stop The Killing Spree!

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Feb 12, 2017

Killing sprees shock us with their cruelty to human life. Yet, how often do we engage in our own killing sprees, mentally murdering those with whom we are angry. Jesus calls us to stop it, and to bend over backwards to make things right with others.

Matthew 5:21-26 Stop the Killing Spree! William Boyette, suspected of killing four women in two states, died Tuesday from a self-inflicted gunshot wound after a police standoff at a Georgia motel. Police arrested Mary Rice, his accomplice. As appalling as their little Bonnie and Clyde killing ...read more

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.

Expelling Anger Series

Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Aug 12, 2021

Anger, unchecked and uncorrected, affects 3 things: 1) Our view of ourselves (Matthew 5:21-22), 2) Our worship of God (Matthew 5:23-24), and 3) Our relation to others (Matthew 5:25-26).

Matthew 5:21-26 [21]"You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.' [22] But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever insults his brother will be liable to the ...read more

How Not To Obey The Law

Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 27, 2021

There is a right way to obey the Law of God and a wrong way to obey the Law of God. We see examples of both in the Bible and we have clear instruction as how we should live within the Law.

How NOT to Obey The Law Please stand with me as we go over our current memory Scripture: Matthew 5:9-12 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

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

You Shall Not Murder Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 21, 2021

The Bible’s opening plotlines show the firstborn man, Cain, killing his brother Abel. Think of it: the firstborn person in the human race was a murderer.

In 2000, there were 128 reported homicides in Scotland. In 1960, the District of Columbia reported 81 murders. In 1991 ...read more
