A Matter of Heart: Why Divorce?

1/24/2023

 
Text: Matthew 5.27-30
Series: A Sermon We All Need


Jesus moves from adultery to the issue of divorce in the Sermon on the Mount - a natural next consideration. But I think the question of "why does Jesus include it here" (in the context of Matthew 5) is compelling and worth consideration.

A Matter of Heart: Lustful Intent

1/24/2023

 
Text: Matthew 5.27-30
Series: A Sermon We All Need


In speaking on the issue of adultery, Jesus extends the prohibition to the internal attitude of lustful intent that corrupts the heart and precedes adultery.

A Strange Tool in God's Toolbox

12/13/2022

 
Text: 2 Chronicles 35.20-22

God sometimes uses the "odd tool" to accomplish his will. In our lesson today, we consider one such oddity in the person of Pharaoh Neco and his encounter with King Josiah of Judah. Though a tragic tale for Josiah, there is much we can learn from it as God's people today.

Ask Uzzah If It Really Matters

12/13/2022

 
Text: 1 Chronicles 13.1-11

Does it matter how we approach God in worship? What can we learn about reverencing our Holy God through the account of Uzzah when David sought to move the Ark of the Covenant? We will ponder these questions in this lesson.

A Matter of Heart (Anger)

11/28/2022

 
Text: Matthew 5.21-26
Series: A Sermon We All Need


Jesus prohibits the outward act of murder and extends it to the inward disposition of unresolved anger - which can corrupt the heart & mind.

A Contrast in Thankfulness

11/22/2022

 
Text: Psalm 100 & Psalm 40

Two different psalms of thanksgiving. Two different contexts (one from the mountaintop and the other from the pit). What does this stark contrast tell us about the possibility & reasons for thankfulness as people of God?

A Reminder We All Need

11/15/2022

 
Text: Matthew 5.17-20
Series: A Sermon We All Need


In this lesson, we consider a shocking & demanding reminder from Jesus that gets to the heart of the matter for citizens of His kingdom.
