Reading by Felipe Frutos ---   Matthew 5-7   https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew%205-7&version=ESV&interface=print

Send me a Text Message!"You are the salt of the earth." Those are Jesus' words. Think about this, when salt is working, you can't see it. Where are you being salt? Salt-work is annymous acts of kindness. It's backstage work that doesn't mind missing the applause of the crowds; It's working hard and speaking the truth..in love; It's befriending someone who doesn't deserve a friend. It's being real, even when you think no-one's  watching. Salt work is living proof of a loving God. Salt work is simply what happens when a transformed heart comes into contact with others. So where are you being the salt of the earth? Our world desperately needs more salt!

"Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 5:10  

Send me a Text Message!We need more than bread to thrive. Jesus said that we need every word that comes from the mouth of God! We need more than food-stuff for our stomachs,  more than comfort-stuff, more than significance stuff; we even need more than  relational stuff in order to thrive. A live that thrives will involve a live that is  continually feeding on the words of God. And remember, eating God's words  involves more than listening and learning. Both listening and learning are  important, but they are incomplete until we lean in. Leaning in, is the place where we become do-ers of the word and not hearers only. It's the place where our lives change by the power of the Spirit in partnership with the Word of God. In this episode, I'm challenging us to consider leaning in by asking God to take us out of the center of our lives, so that we can be a blessing to those around us.

Continuing to look at the Beatitudes, we examine mercy, from Matthew 5:7 https://longhollow.com/theforgottenjesuspodcastshownotes

You haven't murdered anyone? Jesus says your anger makes you guilty. Never committed adultery? Your lustful look already has. Six times Christ declares, "You have heard it said... but I say to you," crushing us with impossible standards that culminate in the command to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.  The Rev. Dr. Matthew Richard, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Minot, ND, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 5:21-48.  To learn more about St. Paul's Lutheran, visit anchoredminot.com. The Gospel of Matthew bridges Old and New Testaments, presenting Jesus as the promised Messiah who fulfills the Law we could never keep and establishes His kingdom of grace for all nations. Written by a tax collector transformed by pure grace, Matthew reveals Christ as the true Son of David and Emmanuel (God with us) who challenges us with the crushing demands of the Law in His Sermon on the Mount to the sweet comfort of the Gospel in His death and resurrection. From royal genealogy to glorious resurrection, this verse-by-verse study proclaims the One who conquered sin, death, and the devil for us, now delivering forgiveness, life, and salvation through Word and Sacrament as He remains with His church always, even to the end of the age.  Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Oct 5, 2025GRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHNeil McClendon, Lead PastorGrand Parkway Baptist ChurchMatthew 5:27-30The High Price of Lust1. Jesus upholds the sufficient sanctity of marriage, v. 27-28 • Genesis 2:24God's design for marriage… a) priority loyalty- “Therefore, a man shall leave his father and mother… b) lifelong loyalty- …and hold fast to his wife… c) bodily loyalty- …and they shall become one flesh.” 2. The eye reveals what is in the heart, v. 28Lust does four things… a) starts with dissatisfaction b) turns people into things c) teaches you to relate to the world out of your appetites instead of your understanding d) trains you to sow to the flesh • Galatians 6:7-8 • Galatians 5:19-21Signs You Are Sowing to the Flesh 1) Pleasure becomes your master- "sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality . . .” 2) Worship is misplaced- “. . . idolatry, sorcery . . .” 3) Conflict is your pattern- “. . . enmity, strife, jealousy . . .” 4) You can't control your emotions- “. . . fits of anger . . .” 5) Competitiveness is your posture- “..rivalries, dissensions, divisions . . .” 6) You refuse to celebrate others- “. . . envy . . .” 7) Escapism is a way of life- “. . . drunkenness, orgies, and things like these.”3. Jesus is trying to change the way we view sin, v. 29-31 • Matthew 7:24-27Mental worship… 1. In your opinion, have Christians changed the way the culture views marriage or has the culture changed the way Christians view marriage?  2. Is there anybody or anything that you currently desire too much? 3. What struck you today as something you will need to think more about?  4. If you are a Christian, how has your view of sin changed since you came to faith?  5. How do you feel when the rain, floods and wind beat down on your life?

Mercied and Merciful - Matthew 5:7

Send me a Text Message!There is a booklet which has been used by God to lead many people to believe in Jesus. It's called the "The Four Spiritual Laws." Maybe you've read it. The first law is this, "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life." I believe that law is true, especially looking back. But what if the flip-side is also true? God loves you and has a difficult plan for your life.Not too many Xtian best-sellers incorporate that into their title.  Not too many songs about the God who plans to make our lives difficult; and if he really loves us and is really pleased by us...well get ready for really difficult. But perhaps that's what Jesus meant when he said, "Blessed are those who are persecuted..." Don't skip this one...just because you don't like the title. :)

"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." Matthew 5:7

Jesus sits on a mountainside and turns the world upside down: the poor are blessed, the meek inherit the earth, and persecution becomes cause for rejoicing. Christ calls His followers salt and light, then makes a shocking claim: He hasn't come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, and unless our righteousness exceeds that of the Pharisees, we'll never see the kingdom.  The Rev. Lance O'Donnell, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Oconomowoc, WI, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Matthew 5:1-20.  To learn more about St. Paul's, visit splco.org.

Send me a Text Message!As we come to the last of eight beatitudes we arrive at what I call the “Thanks-No-Thanks” beatitude. And listen I'm not saying that Jesus saved the best for last, I even hesitate to say that it's the most important blessing, because they are all so important. Remember it's a process, and as a journey, all the steps are necessary. But this one, #8, in our world today, it's so key that understand it's a step to becoming the light of the world. We cannot shrink back from this last step, if we want to be part of Jesus' Kingdom-Story. And as you listen, listen for the challenge that will help us persevere in persecution. It will come in the form of a prayer. "God cross out the "I" in my life."

Send me a Text Message!Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will resemble their Father in heaven. Blessed are the peacemakers for they will remind people of their big brother Jesus. Are you a peacemaker? Is the family resemblance growing? Take a moment and think of a hard relationship; someone who has hurt you, disappointed you. Do you look like Jesus to them? Will a point come when they can say to you...this is what I want to hear people say to me: "I see Father God's face in you. I see Jesus' heart in you. I see the fullness of the Spirit in you."I mean, is there anything the world needs more than peacemakers in this moment?

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." Matthew 5:6

Send me a Text Message!What do we need more in our world right now, than peace? We are so quick to draw lines, so easily prodded into conflict. We need peace. I think everyone is seeking it, but few attain it, and keeping it is all too rare. But here's the problem; we have difficulty finding peace, because we are looking for peace in the absence.  That's how we define peace, right? Peace comes from absence; the absence of noise or the absence of storms, or conflict. But when Jesus talked about peace, he had in mind the Hebrew word shalom. Shalom is well-being in the widest sense of the word. Shalom is the blessing of God whch sums up all other blessings. Shalom is more about fullness than emptiness. Let's stop looking for peace in the absence and start seeking His fullness. Peace doesn't come from absence...

Continuing to look at the Beatitudes, we examine hunger and thirsting for righteousness, from Matthew 5:6

Today's sermonette based on Matthew 5:21-48 is given by Rev. Dr. Douglas Spittel. This is a rebroadcast from September 29, 2017. Hear a guest pastor give a short sermonette based on the day's Daily Lectionary New Testament text during Morning and Evening Prayer. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Fr. Mike reads the Sermon on the Mount and explains how Jesus' teachings powerfully fulfill the old testament law, and identify the broken human heart as the source of our sinful actions. We learn that Jesus himself is the remedy to our sins, and that the secret to holiness is living in the perfect will of God. Today's readings are Matthew 5-7, and Proverbs 18:21-24.
