Neil McClendon, Lead PastorGRAND PARKWAY BAPTIST CHURCHMatthew 5:38-42How The Violence of God Triumphs Over The Violence of Man1. The insufficiency of proportionate justice, v. 38The law did three things...a) takes punishment out of the realm of private vengeanceb) gave judges a clear and just formula for punishmentc) it forbid vendettas and excessive retribution“...I have killed a man for wounding me...”-Genesis 4:23Why do we insist on retaliation?a) embarrassmentb) justice•“Slowly and imperceptibly, the one true God begins acquiring the features of thegods of this world. For instance, our God simply gratifies our desires rather thanreshaping them in accordance with the beauty of God's own character. Our Godthen kills enemies rather than dying on their behalf as God did in Jesus Christ.”― Miroslav Volf,Free of Charge: Giving andForgiving in a Culture Stripped of Gracec) unbelief“If God were not angry at injustice and deception and did not make the final end toviolence God would not be worthy of our worship. Here, however, I am lessinterested in arguing that God's violence is not unworthy of God than in showingthat it is beneficial to us. Life has rightly drawn our attention to the fact that in aworld of violence we are faced with an inescapable alternative: either God'sviolence or human violence. Most people who insist on God's “nonviolence”cannot resist using violence themselves. They deem the talk of God's judgmentirreverent, but think nothing of entrusting judgment into human hands, persuadedpresumably that this is less dangerous and more humane than to believe in a Godwho judges! And so violence thrives, secretly nourished by belief in a God whorefuses to wield the sword.”-MiroslaveVolf, Exclusion & Embrace2. The capacity of life in the Kingdom, v. 39-42• Matthew 11:12As Christians we have the capacity to demonstrate four things...a) a different response to evil, v. 39• Romans 12:14-21b) a different response to guilt, v. 40c) a different response to authority, v. 41d) a different response to need, v. 42Mental worship...1 Is there anybody that you've punished too much and you don't know how to getit back to where it should be?2 Do you feel you actually have the capacity to respond differently when violated?3 Does your response to evil say more about you or God?4 How does the Gospel inform your response to the poor and needy?5 What or who have you lost sight of?

Weekly Sermon from Trinity Church Denver

Living a Salt and Light - Matthew 5:13-16

A sermon on Matthew 5:7 by pastor Andrew Dionne. Preached on November 9, 2025, evening service, at Trinity Presbyterian Church (Evangel Presbytery) in Spartanburg, SC.

Erik Jones discusses Matthew 5:48—“Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.”

Send me a Text Message!Hypocrisy is hiding what's inside. Authenticity is transparency, revealing what's inside. But integrity goes deeper, integrity requires a transformation of what's inside. And here's the blessing of integrity; when we get real with God, the real God shows up. Can I tell you what I fear most? I fear missing out on the real God showing up. I want to experience God's presence.  I want to be a conduit of God's power.  I want to experience God at work in our community in supernatural ways.I want to see the real God show up, but what if it requires our getting real with God?

Send me a Text Message!It's a question of integrity. When you see the brilliant reds of a maple tree in the  fall, you don't have to guess if they are hanging on an oak tree. When you are out hunting and you see horns, you don't need to guess the gender of the deer.  Because in God's creation, what's on the outside is a good indicator of what's on the inside. But when it comes to people, that's not always the case. Sometimes the outside lies. There's no integrity. Integrity is not only speaking the truth, it's being true. It's the outside truly reflecting what's on the inside.So that's the question, "Does my outside match my inside?"

Send me a Text Message!If I could say anything to you, that you will remember from this episode, it's simply this, "Just let God love you." That's where a life that thrives gets it's start. We love because He first loved us. Let Him love you. Don't put up walls, keep your heart soft.  Toward him and others.  Let grace heal wounds and even overflow in the broken places around you.  Let his forever-love be your journey's guard and guide.  Let His love give you boldness to approach Him on behalf of your marriage and any broken marriages around you. Let His love give shape to your soft heart!

Send me a Text Message!In this two verses Jesus deals with an area of brokennes, sin and failure that is all too often all too common in our world today. Divorce. He goes from adultery to divorce. In this episode we'll start by talking about marriage and the heart of a wedding and from there will be a challenge to guard your heart. But here's the deal, we don't guard our hearts by hardening our hearts...because when it comes to the pain of divorce...Everyone needs a soft heart.

Matthew 5:1-12aWhen Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.He began to teach them, saying:Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are they who mourn,for they will be comforted.Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the land.Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be satisfied.Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.Blessed are the clean of heart,for they will see God.Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God.Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute youand utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven.

Matthew 5:27-30

Sunday Morning, November 2, 2025Can You Be Persecuted and Blessed? ... Matthew 5:10-12A message delivered by Richard Fleming

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain,and after he had sat down, his disciples came to him.He began to teach them, saying:"Blessed are the poor in spirit,for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.Blessed are they who mourn,for they will be comforted.Blessed are the meek,for they will inherit the land.Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be satisfied.Blessed are the merciful,for they will be shown mercy.Blessed are the clean of heart,for they will see God.Blessed are the peacemakers,for they will be called children of God.Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness,for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute youand utter every kind of evil against you falsely because of me.Rejoice and be glad,for your reward will be great in heaven."

Send me a Text Message!As we get into this episode on sex, lust and adultery... you may be asking the question, "How far will God go to love me?" That's the question I'll be answering before we put this episode to bed. And to be honest, my best answer is simply this. The cross is our reminder that God will go so far as to come down and give his life for you to show you his love. God will go so far as a cross to pursue us with all our heart. Never forget that truth!

Send me a Text Message!Our next section of Jesus' mountain-top message is on sex, adultery, and lust. And let me just say upfront, that one of the reasons why this is such a tough and tender topic is because there are so many people crying on the inside. Something you did, something done to you, a decision you regret, sometimes there's this deep sense of hidden inner shame.  You're crying on the inside. And if that's you, you need to hear these words of Jesus within a context of knowing that he knew that this topic could bring so many people tears on the inside. And you need to know, there was more compassion in his heart that day on that mountain than your heart could ever contain. Because in the end, it's not really all about sex, it's about knowing and being known by the giver of life!

Matthew 5:6 Audio

Send me a Text Message!Do I truly value relationships? You will hear some form of that question over and over again in this episode. If you want to be the light of the world, if you want to be a real life blessing, if you want to be a reconciler with a heart that won't quit, you have to make relationships a priority. If you know anything about religion in Jesus day, presenting a sacrifice was a big deal. The common people had the  opportunity to present a sacrifice maybe 2-3 times a year. It was a big deal, big, big deal, not like Sunday worship, or even monthly communion. Jesus said, "If you are right in the middle of even your most important religious tradition and you  remember that someone's got something against you; stop the religious stuff and go make things right. Now. Don't wait. Because reconciled relationships matter more than religious routines. So ask yourself, "Do I truly value, even treasure relationships?"

Continuing to look at the Beatitudes, we examine those who are persecuted from Matthew 5:10 https://longhollow.com/theforgottenjesuspodcastshownotes
