The Business Of Authority - Part 2 of 2

The Lord "spoke with authority" on the Scriptures...because He authored the Scriptures! But there was much more. As the disciples and the crowds were discovering, Jesus held power over sickness, and over demons. He even claimed the divine prerogative of forgiving sins! We'll pick up the sermon we had to "pause" yesterday, called The Business of Authority, starting in Matthew, chapter 8. And Pastor Jim opens with a question for you.

The Business Of Authority - Part 1 of 2

Like all good preachers, Jesus brought His sermon home with a call to action! The outcasts and the downtrodden are God's favorites. The Law is still in effect, and grace will empower us to live it. Don't turn your religion into a show. Get off the treadmill and seek rightness. Oh, and the Lord's Prayer. These are some of the things listeners heard in the Sermon on the Mount. It was life-changing, world-changing stuff. But as He drew His message to a close, Jesus would charge his audience with living it.

Building A Life Worthy - Part 2 of 2

Socrates spoke against the "unexamined life." Jesus warns us of the undisciplined life. From the Lord's metaphor of the "narrow road," we can understand that following Him won't make us popular; and that the way will feel restrictive, sometimes. Oh, there is joy in the Christian life, and extended family; but first and foremost ours is the road of obedience, not the road of instant gratification. We've been studying the Sermon on the Mount in chapters 5 through 7 of Matthew. Here's the conclusion of Jim's sermon, Building a Life Worthy.

Building A Life Worthy - Part 1 of 2

"Judge not, that you be not judged." It's the favorite saying of Christ among those who don't want to come under the rulership of Christ: "Judge not." But of course it can't mean that we shouldn't call sin, "sin." A few sentences later Jesus tells his followers, "Don't cast your pearls before swine" - requiring us to discern the holy from the unholy, and the worthy from the unworthy. We're continuing our quick survey of the Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew's Gospel. Jim's new sermon is called Building a Life Worthy.

Righteousness: Conduct And Character - Part 2 of 2

Too many people believe in the Gospel of It Seems to Me. If we are in fact corrupt in our core - if "the heart is desperately wicked," as Jeremiah put it - then we'll never be able to figure out what God requires, using our own reason. We'll need the light of revelation, and even then we'll need new eyes to see it. On today's edition we continue our study of the Sermon on the Mount. We're in Matthew, chapter 6 with Jim.

Righteousness: Conduct And Character - Part 1 of 2

Jesus didn't come to lower the bar; He came to lift us over it. As crooked beings we have a hard time imagining what it means to be plumb and level. We are "out of true," to borrow an expression from the tradesmen, and no bent person is able to straighten himself out. So when Jesus started teaching His disciples formally, in public, He started at the beginning. What is righteousness? What does it look like? Here's Jim to open a new message from the Sermon on the Mount. We're in Matthew, chapter 5.

Character Of Kingdom Citizens - Part 2 of 2

"The Law of the LORD is perfect," sang the psalmist. But it was never designed to replace the Holy Spirit! We have a heart problem. And the doctor can show us x-rays of our damaged heart all day long; it isn't going to help. We need for him to get in there and make some radical changes! The Law is that x-ray - The Apostle James called it a mirror. We need it, but we need much more. Yesterday Pastor Jim opened a message on the Sermon on the Mount called, Character of Kingdom Citizens. Here's the conclusion of that word.

Character Of Kingdom Citizens - Part 1 of 2

If God were to come down and chat with us, we'd expect Him to tell us that we're thinking about some things the wrong way. Well, God did come and talk to us in the person of His Son, and Jesus did try to set us straight about some very basic things. In His famous Sermon on the Mount, He turns a lot of our human values upside-down - or I should say, rightside-up. For example, Who is blessed; it's not necessarily the rich-and- famous. If we listen to Him, we'll get the view from heaven, and eternity. We're in Matthew, chapter 5 today, with Pastor Jim.

Jesus Goes Public - Part 2 of 2

It's everyone's favorite sermon. Christians love it, non-Christians love it - I wouldn't be surprised if even baby ducks love it. It's the Sermon on the Mount, and today Jim will give us a framework for understanding it. Matthew shows us that, early in Jesus' ministry, He's not just proclaiming the Kingdom; the Lord is inaugurating it with all-inclusive miracles of healing. We're in Matthew 4:23 with Jim.

Jesus Goes Public - Part 1 of 2

When Jesus launched His ministry, one of the first things He did was bring in some fishermen! The Lord didn't initially recruit theologians, or skilled speakers, or even natural leaders. He began his talent search on the lake. Or rather, on the Sea of Galilee. He wanted some men who lived for a bountiful catch. Today we'll be in Matthew, chapter 4, for the first half of the sermon Jesus Goes Public.
