     | 4,022 views

    This is Part 10 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus as he delivered what is familiarly known as the “Sermon on the Mount.” In this part we examine Jesus teachings about an eye for an eye, loving our neighbor, and being perfect.

    Part 10 - Eye for eye, loving neighbor and hating enemy, being perfect Sermon on the Mount The Christian Character Matthew 5:3 - 7:27 (Cf. Luke 6:20-49) This is Part 10 in a 14-part series of studies I call “The Christian Character” as described by Jesus to a crowd of people on a Galilean ...read more

     | 2,285 views

    We are living unprecedented times. We ask ourselves what would Jesus do? This good question can be misleading. Rather we should ask, what did Jesus do? He was born into an era of injustice, violence and pain. He was the victim of abuse and injustice. What did He do?

    Message by Gabi Faria Introduction It is my understanding that you have been in a message series called a Reflection on the 12 stations of the cross.

    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

    Entering into the spirit of what is behind the Law.

    METAPHORS OF MORTIFICATION. Matthew 5:27-42. Sometimes the Sermon on the Mount has been the called the new Law. This is not necessarily helpful. We are not under law, but under grace (cf.

    1 Peter talks a lot about Suffering. How should we act and react as Christians on this subject

    1 Peter 2:21-25 Matthew 5:38-48 Psalm 23 Our primary passage today is the one from 1 Peter, and I confess, none of us like what he has to say. I added the Matthew 5 passage, because sometimes it is easier to hear if we know it came directly from Jesus. Both passages are addressing the same ...read more

    Kingdom Justice says, don’t retaliate. Specifically, accept insults with patience, judgment with generosity, hardship with grace, and demands with willingness. But in order to do that, you must accept God's grace with humility.

She gently released the little girl's grip and said comfortingly to the boy, “There, there. She didn't mean it. She doesn't know that hurts.” He nodded his ...read more

     | 3,637 views

    Throughout the sermon on the mount, Jesus clarified misconceptions. He explained the deeper implications of the law and broadened their understanding so they could conduct themselves according to God's intentions. Today, Jesus does this regarding retaliation.
