Jesus continues His Sermon on the Mount teaching on how believers act in their world. The commands Jesus gives are not simply a list of to-dos but demonstrations of His work in our lives. When we encounter Jesus, He makes us salt and light to everyone watching. He drives home the point that we cannot make ourselves do these things. We are incapable of doing enough good things to be salt and light. This only comes from His work on the cross for us. We are righteous, and we look righteous on the outside, when His grace grips us, not from our effort.
Jesus came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it. The law was given so that humanity can be a place where God dwells. Jesus shows us what it looks like to follow the law with the heart of the Father. When we walk in this way we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world- a people defined by God with us.cccog.com/beyond-sunday
We're kicking off a new year with a new sermon series focusing on the Sermon on the Mount, the teachings of Jesus found in Matthew 5, 6, and 7. These teachings reflect a fulfillment of God's long plan to rescue his people, and provide a framework for living faithfully as part of God's kingdom. In this kingdom, we are not measured by what we do, but instead by what we become, allowing God to transform our motives and our relationships. Pastor Cheryl invites us to "show up" where God's people and God's presence are found.
In this sobering and soul-searching message, Pastor Karl dives deep into Matthew 5:17–48, where Jesus declares that He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it—and then raises the bar of righteousness far beyond anything the scribes and Pharisees ever imagined.Through six piercing examples—anger that murders the heart, lust that commits adultery in the mind, casual divorce, manipulative oaths, retaliation, and hatred disguised as justice—Jesus exposes the truth we all try to avoid: outward obedience is never enough. God judges the heart. Every single one of us stands guilty before His perfect standard.Yet the bad news is meant to drive us to the best news. Pastor Karl powerfully unpacks how Jesus' command in verse 48—“You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect”—is not a cruel impossible demand, but the very reason the Son of God came. We cannot achieve the righteousness God requires, so God freely gives it to us through faith in Christ. Jesus took our unrighteousness and imputes His perfect righteousness to all who repent and trust Him.A hard-hitting, heart-exposing sermon that leaves no room for self-righteousness, but ends with the liberating joy of the gospel: guilty sinners can be clothed in the very righteousness of God and stand before Him as if we had never sinned.

Jesus invites us to a way of life that feels upside down to the world—but in it, we discover God's right-side-up truth. A call to LIVE AS PEOPLE OF HEAVEN while still on earth. A CROWD OF NOBODIES Jesus began not among the powerful in Jerusalem, but among nobodies in Galilee—people who were poor, sick, and oppressed. To them, He speaks words that still flip the world upside down. THE KINGDOM BEGINS WITH THE BROKEN “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 5:3 The “kingdom of heaven” isn't just about the afterlife—it's God's new reality on earth. It begins with the spiritually bankrupt and humble. COMFORT FOR THE GRIEVING, INHERITANCE FOR THE OVERLOOKED “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.” – Matthew 5:5 Jesus offers hope: comfort for grief and inheritance for the overlooked. This movement isn't for the power-hungry—it's led by those who long for healing, mercy, and reconciliation. A REVOLUTION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, MERCY, AND PURITY “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.” – Matthew 5:6 “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.” – Matthew 5:7 “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” – Matthew 5:8 These are people who seek justice, offer mercy, and long for hearts aligned with God. Jesus doesn't demand perfection—He calls for transformation. PEACEMAKERS AND THE PERSECUTED “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” – Matthew 5:9 “Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 5:10 Jesus wants peacemakers—those who enter conflict to bring healing. But He warns: it comes with a cost. “Blessed are you when people insult you… Rejoice and be glad… for in the same way they persecuted the prophets…” – Matthew 5:11–12 THE BLESSED BECOME THE WITNESS (MATTHEW 5:13–16) “You are the salt of the earth.” – Matthew 5:13 “You are the light of the world… A city on a hill cannot be hidden.” – Matthew 5:14 Jesus declares: Salt preserves—"You are God's faithful ones.” Light reveals—"You now carry God's presence.” City leads—"You are the new Jerusalem.” God's kingdom breaks into the world through the righteous—those who live rightly with God and others. JESUS DIDN'T CANCEL THE LAW—HE COMPLETED IT “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law… I have not… but to fulfill them.” – Matthew 5:17 Jesus didn't discard the Old Testament—He embodied it. He lived out what the Law pointed toward. EVERY WORD STILL MATTERS “Not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” – Matthew 5:18 Every word still holds weight. Jesus calls us not to legalism, but alignment with God's heart. GREATNESS IN THE KINGDOM COMES THROUGH OBEDIENCE “Whoever relaxes… and teaches others… will be called least… but whoever does them and teaches… will be called great.” – Matthew 5:19 Greatness is not about status—but about living and teaching God's ways. It's not about perfection, but intentional pursuit. MORE RIGHTEOUS THAN THE RIGHTEOUS? “Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees… you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 5:20 To the crowd, this was shocking. The Pharisees looked holy—but it was a performance. Jesus calls us to inner transformation, not outward appearances. JESUS' VISION: WHOLEHEARTED LIVING Jesus will now reveal the heart behind commands like “Do not murder” and “Do not commit adultery.” He's calling us to a righteousness rooted in love—not fear. A life aligned with God's heart. FIVE PRACTICAL STEPS TO APPLY MATTHEW 5:17–20 Recommit to SCRIPTURE AS WISDOM Read the Bible as relational guidance. Start with Psalm 119:97–105. Ask: AM I PERFORMING OR TRANSFORMING? Am I acting to look good—or to grow in love? PRACTICE OBEDIENCE IN SMALL THINGS Faithfulness in small things—generosity, humility—matters. TEACH WHAT YOU LIVE Share what you're living, not just what you know. INVITE THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SHAPE YOUR HEART Pray: “Holy Spirit, transform me from the inside out.” THE WAY FORWARD IS DEEPER, not easier Jesus raises the bar—but walks the path with us. He fulfilled the Law so we don't live in fear, but in faith that transforms. Let's stop settling for surface spirituality. Let's live righteously—by loving God, obeying His Word, and reflecting His Kingdom… from the inside out.

Q. 135. What are the duties required in the sixth commandment?A. The duties required in the sixth commandment are, all careful studies, and lawful endeavours, to preserve the life of ourselves and others by resisting all thoughts and purposes, subduing all passions, and avoiding all occasions, temptations, and practices, which tend to the unjust taking away the life of any; by just defence thereof against violence, patient bearing of the hand of God, quietness of mind, cheerfulness of spirit; a sober use of meat, drink, physic, sleep, labor, and recreation; by charitable thoughts, love, compassion, meekness, gentleness, kindness; peaceable, mild, and courteous speeches and behavior: forbearance, readiness to be reconciled, patient bearing and forgiving of injuries, and requiting good for evil; comforting and succoring the distressed, and protecting and defending the innocent. — Westminster Larger Catechism Matthew 5:21-26

Romans 13:10 Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. What the apostle Paul was saying in this verse is like when you were in school and the teacher gave you an assignment. The teacher had the authority to assign whatever was best for you, and you had an obligation to do the assignment. God, of course, is the ultimate authority in our lives, and He has given all of mankind the assignment to keep His Law perfectly. In the previous verses, Paul wrote, “Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. For this, ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not covet' and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'” Vs. 10 continued Paul's point that agape love for one's neighbor will do no wrong to them. Therefore, when we love with an agape love, a love that does good, we fulfill the assignment. This should be a great encouragement to live to love with Jesus. We know Jesus never did wrong to anyone. He always did what was in their best interest, thus fulfilling what His Father assigned Him to do—namely, live to love with Him for His glory. We are not trusting in our ability to love our neighbor, but in Jesus' love them. We love because He has first loved us. If we treasure the glory of God above everything and everyone else in this world, especially above ourselves, we will treasure Jesus. If we treasure Jesus, meaning the indwelling ever-present life and love of Jesus, we will desire to abide in Him more than doing anything else in life. Living to love with Him by abiding in Him becomes our purpose in life because in so doing, God is glorified by Christ in us. This treasure is what we sell everything for. He is the pearl of great price. Therefore, the more we treasure Jesus, the more we fulfill the Law. Love flows only out of those whose ultimate treasure is Jesus Christ. Is this greatest desire of your heart—to treasure Jesus? That question has stimulated me to make treasuring Jesus the aim of my heart in 2024. I've treasured other things more than Christ way too much in my life. I am convinced that if by the grace of God I treasure Jesus more this year and every year until that day when Jesus returns or I go to be with Him, I will not be disappointed. I want to read and study God's Word, pray, and minister in His name because knowing and pleasing Him is the greatest desire of my heart. I want it to be the “why” behind all of my words and actions, not so I can feel like I'm a good person, but so God can be glorified in Him in me. I've got a long way to go, and maybe you feel like I do. Let's not be satisfied with just being okay, let's desire that Jesus be the treasure in all that we do, and thus we will live to love with Him and fulfill the Law for God's glory.

What does it mean that Jesus came to fulfill the law, not to abolish it? Aren't followers of Jesus no longer condemned by the law? In the middle of Jesus' message ushering in the kingdom of heaven he takes time to make this very important point. Jesus fulfilled everything the law couldn't. He was the perfect human that reflected God in this world and sacrificed himself so that we could be forgiven of sin. The law could only cover sin, but Jesus cleansed us from sin forever.
In this episode The Apostle John names The Word for the first time, as Jesus, testifying to His Glory, how God saves, and how though the law was given by Moses, grace and truth came by Jesus.Lets ConnectSupport the show
As we look to see how the New Testament relates to the 10 Commandments, we go to the story of Jesus on the road to Emmaus. Here he opens the Bible with some disciples to show them how all scripture, including the law, points to him and his redemptive work in his life, death, and resurrection.
What difference does the Law make now that we follow Jesus? Why did Jesus say he came to fulfill the Law rather than to abolish it? "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matthew 5:17 ESV What do you think happens when the Law and the Prophets are fulfilled? Jesus says it in the next verse, "not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished." In just a few verses, in the same talk, Jesus says we should cut off our hand rather than be thrown into hell. The consequences of not obeying the Law are great. Everything is masked from us, I believe, to give us a free choice. If we saw God for who he is, or if we understood hell, basically, we would forfeit our freedom out of fear. Jesus is warning two things and we're talking about the first today. He fulfills the Law. Only those who follow him will escape the judgment. Tomorrow, he will tell us our righteousness must exceed even those who seem to be the most righteous. We can't do it. So what? I hope we realize God has given a job to those of us who follow him. Our job is to serve others so they can join us following Jesus and avoid the judgment that is to come. Often, we try to do that by judgment ourselves. But Jesus didn't come to judge. He came to serve (Mark 10:45). Today, how can you serve the people around you? Ask God the question and then do what he says. Even if you give someone a cup of cold water because you follow Jesus, it matters (Matthew 10:42). Ask God to show you how to serve the people around you and do it. The world doesn't need us to tell them what they're doing wrong. They need us to live like we follow Jesus. Also, please consider making an investment in this ministry.
