The post Your Love Life – Matthew 5:43-47 – February 16, 2026 first appeared on Enduring Word.
People have a default way of dealing with problems. Especially today, it feels like you can't believe what anyone says and at the slightest hint of offense people explode in rage. We're not just talking about outside the church; this happens inside too! What if we really thought of everyone as our neighbors, and by neighbors we mean those we truly loved?

Title: Upside Down Interior LifeSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this teaching from the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Nate Holdridge explores Matthew 5:21-32, where Jesus begins to reveal the radical, internal transformation He desires for His people. By addressing the root issues of anger, lust, and marital unfaithfulness, Nate shows how Jesus moves beyond external religious checklists to claim authority over our interior lives. We see that the Kingdom of Heaven isn't just about avoiding murder or adultery; it's about a radical devotion to reconciliation, a commitment to sexual purity, and a high esteem for the marriage covenant. Join us as we learn how Jesus' "upside down" ethics provide a protective shield for the vulnerable and lead us toward a life of true flourishing grounded in the Gospel.Link to Sermon Notes

Following Jesus: The Book of Matthew
In our series through the book of Matthew, we've just seen Jesus call His first disciples and begin His public ministry. The central theme of Jesus' teaching at this time was all about the Kingdom of Heaven. This morning, Jesus tells the disciples and the crowd what life in the Kingdom of Heaven is really like... and it's not what any of them expected, in the best possible way. - Pastor Arek O'ConnellSupport the show
February 15, 2026. Matthew 5:21-22
In this message from our Flourishing series, Andrew Wilson explores Jesus' call to a life of deep integrity — where our inner world and outward actions tell the same story. Drawing from the Sermon on the Mount, he shows how true flourishing isn't found in performance or appearance, but in hearts transformed to reflect God's character. As Jesus leads us beyond surface obedience to wholehearted righteousness, we discover the freedom and joy of a life that is whole, consistent and rooted in the Father's perfect love.
In this episode, we explore Jesus' words, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled,” and wrestle with what that means in a world that often feels anything but right. Moving through the Sermon on the Mount and into the season of Lent, we unpack righteousness as right relationship — with God, others, and creation — while honestly naming our longing for justice, peace, and restoration. This is an invitation to live in the tension of the “now but not yet” kingdom, learning to practice hope, lament, and faithful presence as a community shaped by Jesus. Recorded February 15, 2026.

Help Persecuted Christians TODAY: https://csi-usa.org/ Christian Solidarity International On today's Quick Start podcast: NEWS: A growing dispute between the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Office is raising questions in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. Federal sources claim key DNA evidence was kept from the FBI crime lab in Quantico, while Sheriff Chris Nanos strongly denies blocking access and says investigators agreed to keep all samples together at one lab. Meanwhile, surveillance footage of a masked suspect has been released, more than 13,000 tips have poured in, and the reward has climbed to $100,000 as the urgent search continues. FOCUS STORY: Does modern archaeology confirm the Bible — or contradict it? For years, some scholars cast doubt on whether King David even existed. But a major discovery in northern Israel reshaped the debate. CBN's Raj Nair travels to the Holy Land with Israeli tour guide Yoav Rotem to explore how archaeology is challenging skeptics and strengthening confidence in Scripture. MAIN THING: New images from Nigeria reveal the horrific reality facing Christians targeted in ongoing attacks. Advocates say the violence is systematic and underreported. Alex Barbir of Building Zion, recently back from Nigeria, explains why the persecution crisis is worse than many realize — and why believers there say they feel forgotten by the global community. LAST THING: Matthew 5:10-12 — “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” PRAY WITH US!

Photo by Nathan Dumlao on Unsplash So, what does this overflow righteousness look like when it's communal rather than private? Private righteousness claims: I don't murder, I don't steal, I'm polite to others, I volunteer sometimes, I wash my hands after using the bathroom, I'm a good person. Overflow righteousness says: Our community redistributes resources so nobody goes hungry. We shelter people the state wants to cage, and absorb legal liability to protect the vulnerable. The budget reflects that we value other people's survival over institutional preservation. We organize collectively to confront systems that grind people down. Private righteousness is manageable, respectable, safe. Overflow righteousness can get you in trouble. Subscribe to us on iTunes! Sermon text: web | doc

In this message from Matthew 5:33–48, Pastor Matthew walks us through Jesus' radical call to a deeper righteousness—one that transforms our words, our response to wrongs, and even how we treat our enemies. Whether you're wrestling with unforgiveness, struggling to tell the truth consistently, or exhausted by the cycle of outrage and payback, this message will challenge and encourage you to follow the Way of Jesus: truthful speech, surrendered rights, and enemy love that looks like the Father's perfection.

The Straight Bible series begins with Episode 1 breaking down one of the most important teachings in all of Scripture — The Sermon on the Mount.In this episode, we dive deep into Matthew chapters 5–7, starting with the foundation of Jesus' most famous sermon and what it reveals about the culture of the Kingdom of God. Many people misunderstand who Jesus was actually speaking to and how these teachings apply to disciples versus the crowds watching from the outside.We examine the historical context leading up to the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus' rising influence through miracles and healing, and how the Beatitudes define the values of true Kingdom living. This episode also explores modern misunderstandings about Christian identity, cultural Christianity, and what it truly means to follow Christ's teachings in today's world.If you've ever wanted a deeper, verse-by-verse breakdown of Jesus' most revolutionary sermon, this series is designed to walk through it in clear, practical, and uncompromising biblical context.

Pastor Justin Hall preaches from Matthew 5:27-30 in the sermon series, Wisdom from the King: the Sermon on the Mount.
Matthew 5:13-16Jesus said to his disciples:"You are the salt of the earth.But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?It is no longer good for anythingbut to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.You are the light of the world.A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;it is set on a lampstand,where it gives light to all in the house.Just so, your light must shine before others,that they may see your good deedsand glorify your heavenly Father."

This week, Pastor Joe concludes our series on Transformation turning to Transformed Conditions. After Jesus shares the Beatitudes, he continues by declaring the gathered to be the salt and light. How might we live into that identity so that our very presence can disrupt the world's systems built on fear and dehumanization?Please note: Due to technical difficulties, Pastor Joe's usual greeting is not included in this episode. The episode picks up from this week's scripture reading.
Tuesday – Matthew 5:6-8Jesus began to teach them saying:6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.
