Jesus is the Savior of the world, but did you know He is also a King? The Gospel of Matthew presents Christ as King: He was born a King, He lived a King, He died a King, and He's coming as King. In this study of the Sermon on the Mount, we learn the laws of God's kingdom.

When asked by His disciples to teach them to pray, the Lord gave them an example, what we call “The Lord's Prayer.” Our study in Matthew 6 teaches us how our inner motives govern our external acts of righteousness. Great wisdom for conducting your business, raising your children, or supporting ministries doing God's work.
Dr. McGee reminds us that “our motivation in this lost world is to bring glory to God!” As to how to do that, Jesus walks us through “the beatitudes”—goals for living that we must rely on God to accomplish in and through us.

Marriage is more than a legal agreement. It is a sacred covenant designed by God to reflect His faithful love towards His people. In this message, Pastor Mike Skedeleski explores Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5:31–32, inviting us to rediscover God's original design for marriage and why His heart has always been for lifelong faithfulness, grace, and restoration. Together, we wrestle with difficult questions surrounding divorce, brokenness, and commitment. Rather than offering condemnation, Jesus points us to the deeper condition of the heart while reminding us that His grace is greater than our failures. Whether we have experienced the pain of a broken relationship or are seeking to strengthen the one that we have, we can find hope in the God who restores and makes all things new. Join us as we discover how God's Divine Design for marriage ultimately points us to the unwavering love of Christ, the One who never leaves us, never forsakes us, and faithfully keeps His covenant of love with us.
In this study of Matthew 5:21–26, we focus on the Father's heart behind the commandment - “Do not murder.” When God speaks against murder, He is declaring value for your life and the lives of those around you. This sermon explores how we frequently devalue what God loves - whether through bitterness in our minds, distance on our screens, or a culture of contempt in our marriages. By looking to the cross, we find the grace to own our part and pursue the radical, urgent reconciliation Jesus calls us to.
Summer on the Mount — Week 2: Salt and Light: The Visible Kingdom | Matthew 5:13–16 Texts: Matthew 5:13–16Jesus does not bless us so we can disappear. He blesses us so His Kingdom becomes visible.In Week 2 of Summer on the Mount: A Better Way to Be Human, Pastor John continues through the Sermon on the Mount and teaches from Matthew 5:13–16, where Jesus calls His people the salt of the earth and the light of the world.This message shows that Kingdom identity comes before Kingdom activity. Jesus does not say, “Try to become salt” or “Try to become light.” He says, “You are.” The people Jesus blesses are the people Jesus sends into the world as a visible sign of the Kingdom.If you have ever wondered how ordinary faithfulness can make an invisible God visible in a visible world, this message is a reminder that a restored life becomes a visible witness. Salt creates thirst. Light gives direction. And good works point beyond us to the Father.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 1:00 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextstepsFollow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch

Anger is rarely the real problem. It's often the symptom of something much deeper.In this message from Matthew 5:21-26, Jesus takes the sixth commandment beyond outward behavior and exposes the condition of the heart. Murder doesn't begin with an act, it begins with unresolved anger, contempt, bitterness, and a refusal to forgive.We'll explore the progression from hurt to anger, resentment, bitterness, contempt, and dehumanization, uncover the four layers beneath unhealthy anger, and discover why unresolved offenses don't just damage relationships, they shape our identity and hinder our intimacy with God.Jesus also makes a startling statement: before offering your gift at the altar, go and be reconciled. Worship and relationships are deeply connected, because the authenticity of our worship is revealed by the health of our relationships.Finally, we'll look to the cross, where Jesus absorbed the greatest injustice in history and responded with the words, “Father, forgive them.” Through His example and His grace, we learn that forgiveness is not pretending the pain never happened—it's releasing judgment to God and refusing to let bitterness define our future.Freedom begins where honesty meets the healing presence of Christ.
How Good Is Good Enough? | Christ For YouMatthew 5:20-26 | Trinity 6How good is good enough to get into heaven? Is it enough to be a good person? To keep the Ten Commandments? To be better than average? That's what millions of people believe. But what if Jesus says even the most outwardly righteous people who ever lived weren't good enough?In this Trinity 6 sermon, Pastor Rojas walks through Jesus' shocking words from the Sermon on the Mount and shows that the Fifth Commandment was never merely about murder, but about the heart. Jesus exposes the impossible standard of God's Law, leaving every sinner without excuse and every self-righteous hope shattered.But He doesn't leave us there.Jesus did not come merely to teach the Law. He came to fulfill it. Every commandment He kept, He kept in your place. Every act of perfect obedience was rendered on your behalf. His death forgives your sins, and His perfect righteousness is given to you as a free gift through faith. If your death should come tomorrow, your eternal life does not depend on the life you lived, but on the life Christ lived for you.If you have ever wondered, “How good do I actually have to be to get into heaven?” this sermon has the answer. And that answer is not found in you. It is found in Jesus Christ, your righteousness.Subscribe & Share if this sermon strengthened your faith.

Jesus reveals the identity of His followers as salt that brings the flavor of heaven to the earth and light that shines brightly in the darkness. He has not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. The Kingdom He announces is not only about going to heaven, though that promise is real, but about bringing the reality of heaven to earth here and now.

Summer on the Mount — Week 1: The Upside-Down Good Life | Matthew 5:1–12 Texts: Matthew 5:1–12What if the life the world calls blessed is not actually the good life?In Week 1 of Summer on the Mount: A Better Way to Be Human, Pastor Kevin begins walking through the Sermon on the Mount by looking at the Beatitudes. Before Jesus teaches about anger, desire, prayer, money, anxiety, or obedience, He begins with blessing. He answers the question everybody is asking in some form: Who is really living the good life?This message shows that the Beatitudes are not a ladder to climb so we can earn God's favor. They are an announcement that the Kingdom has come near. Jesus blesses people the world does not know what to do with: the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, the hungry, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and the persecuted.If you have been chasing a version of blessing built on success, control, comfort, image, or comparison, this message is an invitation to let Jesus redefine the good life—and to come to Him honestly, poor in spirit, hungry for righteousness, and ready to receive.Broad River Church | Norwalk, CT Join us Sundays: 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM (English) | 1:00 PM (Español) Learn more or take your next step: https://broadriver.church/nextstepsFollow us on Instagram: @iambroadriverchurch
As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, we think about candles on a cake. Two hundred fifty candles on one birthday cake? Wow! 250 candles representing 250 years of history, struggle, sacrifice, blessing, failure, repentance, courage, and providence. Yet in the midst of them all, shines one true Light—the light of Christ that has guided generations and continues to shine today.Ligonier, IN151 W Stones Hill Rd, Ligonier, IN 46767, USA

"Love your enemies" might be the hardest command Jesus ever gave — and the most misunderstood. In this message from our series through the Sermon on the Mount, we look at Matthew 5:43–48 and discover that "hate your enemy" was never in the Bible; it was a cultural loophole Jesus came to close. We explore what enemy-love actually is (an action, not a feeling), why prayer is the first practical step, how God's indiscriminate kindness shapes ours, and why loving only the people who love us back proves nothing. Most of all, we see the gospel at the center: while we were still God's enemies, Christ died for us (Romans 5:10). We were the ones holding the axe — and He answered with forgiveness. Join us as we walk verse by verse through the Gospel of Matthew.

What if the greatest battles we face aren't seen on the outside, but begin quietly within our hearts? As we continue through the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Derek Napoleon helps us discover that Jesus doesn't simply address our actions. He lovingly reveals the deeper condition of our hearts. Through His teaching, we see that anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness can grow unnoticed. That's when we need God redemptive love. His desire is to transform us from the inside out. Rather than leaving us in our brokenness, Jesus shows us a better way. He calls us to pursue reconciliation, extend forgiveness, and experience the freedom that comes from restored relationships. As we learn to exchange hostility for grace, we begin to reflect the love and mercy that Jesus has first shown us. Whether you're carrying hurt, struggling to forgive or ask for forgiveness, or simply longing to grow closer to Jesus, this message offers hope as Jesus shows us a better way. Join us as we discover how the gospel reshapes our hearts, restores our relationships, and leads us into a life of genuine worship and lasting peace.
