    The Spirit Of The Law

    Contributed by Mary Erickson on Feb 17, 2020
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,620 views

    When we examine the 10 Commandments more closely we understand the inner logic of God that forms them. We understand the Spirit of the Law.

Mary Erickson Deuteronomy 30:15-20; Matthew 5:21-37 The Spirit of the Law Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord.

     | 4,960 views

    This Old Testament account of King David leads us to consider the temptations that we face and the holy life Jesus calls us to live in his Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:21-37.

    “How did this happen?” Have you ever read or heard a news story that just left you with that thought? “How did this happen?” I think that there were quite a few people that felt that way last Sunday afternoon as the heard the news of the 41 yar-old basketball superstar, Kobe Bryant’s death. ...read more

    The Retribution Of God And Combatting Injustice – The Christian Position On Retribution: What Do We Do? - Part 5 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Oct 13, 2023
     | 1,132 views

    Where do we cross the line from the legitimate to the revengeful? This is one of the most difficult areas of our Christian lives personally to evaluate. Does any form of vengeance or retribution lie with us? Let us consider the Lord, Stephen and Paul. I have been there.

    THE RETRIBUTION OF GOD AND COMBATTING INJUSTICE – THE CHRISTIAN POSITION ON RETRIBUTION: WHAT DO WE DO? - PART 5 [A]. THE CHRISTIAN POSITION ON VENGEANCE AND INJUSTICE Having looked at various examples from the Old Testament and drawing certain conclusions from them, we now turn the spotlight ...read more

    Jesus redefines the new righteousness by redefining sin itself: beyond the concrete act, sin begins with the intention of the heart. (Michael Card - The Gospel of Identity, P. 57)

    Never Surrender Your Authenticity

    Contributed by Fr. Rian Adams on Apr 6, 2020
     | 2,038 views

    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

    Jesus did not come to abolish the law but fulfill it. He calls on us to live understanding Heterosexual relations are for the purpose creating, understanding relational intimacy and continuing God’s will in the world

    On July 20, 1969, as commander of the Apollo 11 Lunar Module, Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.

    The Sermon On The Mount (Part Ten) Series

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Nov 4, 2019
     | 3,134 views

    Today we deal with another sensitive subject-divorce. Jesus needed to clarify some things about this topic. Let's see what we can learn about it.

    THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT (part ten) Matthew 5:31-32 I don't follow country music but there was a singer back in the 70's-Tammy Wynette. Interestingly, two of her best known songs were, Stand By Your Man and D-I-V-O-R-C-E! What does that tell you? Based on a 2008 survey, one of every three ...read more

    God only established two institutions on this earth: marriage and the church.

    God only established two institutions on this earth: marriage and the church. Any thing else is man made and outside the sanction and blessings of God. This is not to say that all other organizations are bad or wrong. This merely means that anything outside the church that tries to hide under the ...read more

    Spirit Of The Law Part 1

    Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Nov 27, 2023
     | 623 views

    Who better to give a commentary on the Old Testament than it's author, Jesus? Let's look at the Spirit of the law in Matthew 5.

    The best commentary on the Old Testament is by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. In each case we learn several things, 1) the Spirit of the law, 2) our utter failure to live up to it, and 3) our need for forgiveness and mercy. Let’s begin to understand the intent of the law by its author. Let’s ...read more

    A Faithful Man - Joseph Series

     | 1,239 views

    There is not a lot about Joseph, a faithful man contained in scripture. Matthew 1:18-25 gives most of the information about Joseph. But what we discover here is that Joseph was a man whom you & I would do well to imitate in many ways.

    Dealing With Lust In Your Heart

    Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Jun 8, 2025
     | 65 views

    In the Garden of Eden, our first parents messed up grievously. They heard the voice of God telling them what to do to care for this earth, and what not to do, and then they listened not to the loving voice of God, but the envious voice of the Horrible Serpent, Satan, our adversary.

    Friday of the 10th Week in Course 2025 I suspect that I’m not the only one here today who has ever felt trapped in a deep well, a hole that has no way out. Perhaps your whole family has been in such a trap, and you have gotten to the limit of your power to get them out. Like the psalmist, you are ...read more

    The journey of faith is a marathon, not a sprint, and we must persevere in living out our faith and guarding our hearts, minds, and mouths as we follow Jesus.

    Hey everyone! Today, we're going to talk about something super important: our hearts, minds, and mouths. We're going to dive into a passage from the Bible that might seem a bit tough, but don't worry, we'll break it down together.

    Keep The Way Premium Sermon

    Contributed by PRO Premium on Oct 9, 2023
    based on 3 ratings
     | 849 views

    This sermon explores the challenging journey of faith, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a Christ-like heart and persevering in righteousness, as Jesus reinterprets primary teachings from the Rabbis of His time.

    How important are the true motives of the heart? And how important is it that your actions align with your motives, values, etc…? To some, the discrepancy between the two may be seen as hypocrisy. The idea of saying one thing and doing another. Have you ever done anything like that? The truth is ...read more
