Love God Love People

• 23:16Matthew 5

  There's another practical step at this local church. We should love other people well through community and belonging. Grace gathers people. Jesus did not disciple crowds. Of course. He lectured on occasion. The Sermon on the Mount. The Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 5, 6, and 7. But he really discipled people. In smaller groups. Twelve. Men. We call the twelve disciples. And even in our passage.

Matthew

• 1:33Matthew 5

  And just last week, our pastor started a series of two messages on the Sermon on the Mount. And that's where we are today. Starting in Matthew chapter 5, last week we covered the Beatitudes. And today we're going to pick up where we left off. And we're going to cover the next few chapters. And the reality is that over the last week, as I've been preparing this sermon,…

• 4:48Matthew 5

  we see that it covers three chapters, Matthews 5, Matthew 5, 6, and 7. Now, last week, Pastor Josh started in chapter 5 at the beginning with the Beatitudes. But this morning, I want to start at the end of his sermon in chapter 7. And I want to start at the end because I believe that it will help set the framework and the importance of what comes before it. So we're going to start in chapter 7 together

Matthew

• 1:26Matthew 5

  So if you have your Bibles, join me in the book of Matthew, chapter 5, in the Sermoni Domenei in Monte. The Sermon on the Mount. And as you turn there, I have a really quick question. Hopefully, you'll pass this test. It's pass or fail. If you fail, just we'll figure it out. I have faith in you. Raise your hand if you want to live a blessed, happy life. Okay.

• 3:38Matthew 5

  You raise your hand and say, Pastor, I want to live the rich life. And Jesus says, well, we're going to start with the poor in spirit. So today's message is simply rich life. We all want it. Jesus offers it. So let's get it. So let's read Matthew 5, verses 1 through 12-ish. When Jesus went on the mountain, he saw the crowds. When his disciples gathered around him, he sat down. He began to teach them, saying thus.

Back to the Basics

• 19:49Matthew 5

  offended a brother or sister, Jesus says, don't cash the check, don't write the check. Leave here, go seek forgiveness and repentance and restitution, and then come back. Leave your gift there at the altar, he says in Matthew chapter 5. Why would Jesus say that? It's not what you give, it's how you give that touches the heart of the Lord.

• 34:20Matthew 5

  command simply comes down to one central theme of faith truth Jesus says in Matthew 5 let your yes be yes so if I have to ask you well okay is that a yes or no you say yes but maybe it depends that's an issue let your no be no anything more than this when we distort the truth this is from the evil one and remember that the devil is the father of lies so if you are lying you are not lies

When in Romans

• 17:04Matthew 5

  Let me build you up in the name of Jesus Christ. You say, well, that's not easy. Who can understand these difficult words? Jesus reminds us this of Matthew 5. He says, okay, let me make it easy and difficult at the same time. If someone sues you, you're thinking, okay, I'm about to lawyer up. One call, that's all. Some of you already have on speed dial, right?

Esther

• 24:45Matthew 5

  Because the way you speak and the way that you live and the way that you serve, it looks like us. Are you concealing your identity or are you not? And Jesus says and warns us of this. As you have already heard from Matthew chapter 5, Jesus says, you are the salt of the earth. Which I love this because I love salt. I am the guy, before I taste, I salt it just in case.

Dear Church

• 24:57Matthew 5

  In the famous sermon, the most famous sermon that Jesus ever speaks, it's called the Sermon on the Mount. And again, if the hills could talk, right? One day that hill, that mountain is going to be to say, hey, all of eternity knows that what Jesus spoke upon my hill. I was created for this. Jesus says in Matthew 5, 14. Jesus says, you are the light of the world.

The JESUS Story

• 19:57Matthew 5

  Because we know that Jesus, more than any other teacher of righteousness, was very clear on his sexual ethics, was he not? The Sermon on the Mount, Matthew chapter 5. Jesus says what? You have heard it said, Decalogue number 7, do not commit adultery. I say to you, if you've lusted in your heart, you've already committed adultery. So Jesus is pretty firm on his stance of sexual…

• 23:08Matthew 5

  Or he might be saying, as in Matthew 5, right? Whoever among you is without lust in his heart. Let's just talk, we're not talking about all your sins. Let's just talk about the sin that she's standing here. Whoever is without lust, you throw the first stone. You see, what Jesus does, he allows them to still fulfill the law of Moses. And something peculiar happens. They start walking away. Maybe single file.

Miracle in the Manger

• 19:02Matthew 5

  This word blessed is the same word that Jesus uses in Matthew 5 on the Sermon on the Mount. Blessed are the poor. Blessed are the merciful. To be blessed, let's kind of take off our 2020 years. You know, sometimes we just say, well, I'm too blessed to be stressed. What does that even mean? You don't know. What does that mean? I'm stressed all the time. But blessedness in Scripture, blessedness from heaven means this.

Faith Over Fear

• 24:36Matthew 5

  …in the room that day. But during the entire service, Mr. Wesley sat right here, holding the hand of his wife. It was one of the most beautiful pictures of the gospel that I have ever seen. And I was reminded of Matthew chapter 5, where Jesus said, "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." And Paul writes in 2 Corinthians, Jesus says, "My grace is sufficient for you.

  How difficult is it? Just go for the glory of Christ. Why are we equipped? We're equipped to go. And when we take ownership, we see what Matthew 5, 16 says. In each of our lives.

  …and follows him. True disciples live a life of meaningful commitment. Meaningful commitment. And you say, well, what does that look like? We see that the disciples shared life with Christ. We saw, we've already read in Matthew 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. We have the crowds, but what does Jesus do with the disciples? He pulls them away from the crowds, and he spends time with them.

B2Start

• 14:36Matthew 5

  It's not a bad word. It's the same word that Jesus uses in Matthew chapter 5 on the Beatitudes. When Jesus says, blessed are the meek for they will inherit the earth. It's the same word that Jesus uses in Matthew 19 after this teaching with the rich young ruler that he says, I tell you the truth, no one who has left house or brother or sister or mom or dad, no one who has done that, they will inherit much in the kingdom of heaven.

Philippians

• 22:01Matthew 5

  This is written thousands of years ago. And Paul gives us hope to work out our salvation. Jesus says it this way in Matthew 5. He says, you are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. Cannot be hidden. We teach our kids, this little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine. This little light of mine, I'm going to let it shine.

Leviticus

• 12:06Matthew 5

  Jesus does. Jesus makes it more difficult. Leviticus says, be holy as the Lord your God is holy. You know what Jesus says in Matthew 5? Very simple. Let me just read this to you. Jesus says, be perfect as your heavenly father is perfect. Jesus makes the issue worse. I've read, be holy. Jesus now says, don't worry about that. Be perfect. So holiness and perfection equal no chance. Anyone want to just take a stab and

  God's way. So what does that look like, um, just in the Old Testament and the New Testament? Um, Matthew 5, Jesus goes right to the heart of the matter. So youth, I want you to listen to me.

Ducks in a Row

• 3:32Matthew 5

  …sermon. I want you to know that, because there are things that Jesus says that I don't like. Let me just admit that as a pastor. There are things that Jesus says that I still struggle with, and right in front of us in Matthew 5. Jesus just slaps our sensibilities. Matthew 5.38, join me.

Advent 2016

• 36:37Matthew 5:14

  The light shines in darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome. Matthew 5.14. Jesus says in his words, You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand. And it gives light for all who are in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
