Sermon on the Mount 14 - Choose Your Master | Sunday Service 3/9/25

Mar 09 2025 45 mins  
It can be difficult for us to keep our relationship with money in its proper place. We often are unaware of the ways we have allowed wealth to cloud our perspectives, our loyalties, our true level of need and where our hope lies. Jesus challenges us to make a choice – and to recognize again that this choice relates to which kingdom we are pouring our time and attention to, either

Sermon on the Mount 13- Fasting | Sermon 03/02/25

This week wraps up the section about three religious practices Jesus addresses in His Sermon on the Mount; giving, prayer, and fasting. As we enter into our [40 days of preparation](https://www.gracecomm.org/40days), how timely that we will begin learning and better understanding the practice of fasting! Prepare for this week's message by downloading the [40 days Preparation Guide]

Sermon on the Mount 12 - Prayer | SSermon 02/23/25

Feb 23 2025 53 mins  
Simply put, Prayer is talking with God. Jesus contrasts what it looks like to pray as a matter of showing off or thinking you must jump thru hoops so that he will pay attention, vs. relating to God as your Father in heaven who listens and responds to you as His child. Prepare for this week's message by reading Matthew 5-7 giving special focus to 6:5-15

Sermon on the Mount 11 - Giving to the needy | Sermon 02/16/25

Feb 16 2025 36 mins  
This week we move away from the antitheses section (You have heard, but I tell you) and into the first of 3 passages related to religious practices; Giving, Prayer, and Fasting. We will begin with giving - where Jesus warns against doing good for the sake of being seen by others rather than to please God. Prepare for this week's message by reading Matthew 5-7 giving special focus t

Sermon on the Mount 10 - Love for Enemies | Sunday Service 2/9/25

Feb 09 2025 36 mins  
The love Jesus is talking about here is something we choose, not something we feel. One of the footnotes for this passage reads: “ The key to understanding this and other statements about love is to know that this love (the Greek word agape) is not so much a matter of emotion as it is of doing things for the benefit of another person, that is, having an unselfish concern for anot

Sermon on the Mount 9 - Eye for Eye & Servanthood | Sunday Service 2/2/25

Feb 02 2025 39 mins  
Just like with the Pharisees, it’s important to understand what Jesus is and is not saying as He interprets the law of retribution. It is wrong to think that Jesus means that evil is never to be resisted, He has demonstrated by His life a discernment in accepting insults and also in overturning tables. For most of us it is easy to stand for our rights and seek retribution when wr

Sermon on the Mount 8 - Transparent Honesty | Sermon 1/26/25

Jan 26 2025 34 mins  
In Leviticus 19:11-12 the nation of Israel was instructed; *"You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. And you shall not swear falsely by My name, so as to profane the name of your God; I am the LORD"* In our Matthew passage, Jesus expands our understanding on what it means to be trustworthy in our speech and our actions. Ultimately our ability to behave honest

Sermon on the Mount 7 - Adultery & Divorce | Sermon 1/19/25

Jan 19 2025 40 mins  
In this portion of the Sermon on the Mount Jesus deepens our understanding of the law against adultery. He contrasts what has been heard against what is the truth and the application of that truth. Jesus is drawing us back to the intent of the law instead of allowing it to be used as easy permission for sin. Make no mistake, Jesus' words are hard to hear and for many of us reveal s

Sermon on the Mount 6 - Murder | Sermon 1/12/25

Jan 12 2025 41 mins  
This week's passage continues Jesus' long discussion where he explains many points of the law which reveal our need for His righteousness. He deepens our understanding of God's commandments revealing how much we fall short. Thankfully we have a Great Savior for our need through the righteousness Jesus offers us through His life, death and resurrection.**Prepare for this week's mess

Sermon on the Mount 5 - Fulfillment of the Law | Sermon 11/24/24

Nov 24 2024 46 mins  
Some people think that Jesus came to destroy the law given to Moses in the Old Testament. The Pharisees often accused Jesus of breaking the law, especially God’s commands regarding the Sabbath. Jesus was perfect, He did not come to dismiss the law, but to fulfill and free it from the Scribes and Pharisee’s wrong understanding of it. Charles Spurgeon puts it this way; “To show
