In Matthew 5:13, Jesus calls his followers "Salt". Of all the metaphors you could think of to describe Christians, salt does not sound like much of a compliment. What did he mean by describing Christians as salt and how does that relate to the second Mile? Join us to uncover why "salt" fit perfectly when describing the church and what can happen when a Christian or church loses it's saltiness. Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

While most Christians strive to actively pursue all of the characteristics we have discussed for living in the second mile from Jesus's teachings on the Beatitudes, there is one that we actively avoid - persecution for being a follower of Jesus. Around the world today in places like Nigeria and Syria, Christians are not only facing terror and persecution for following Jesus, many are facing death. While here in America, persecution seems rare for Christians as we have been protected by our Constitution and our foundation on Judaeo/Christian values, that might not always be the case. In our passage, Jesus makes clear that for his followers, persecution is as much a reality as meekness or mercy - it is something that should be expected. Join us as we discover why Christians face persecution, how we can prepare for it and why Jesus would say that it is actually a gift.

The Bible talks a lot about purity and being pure at heart but what does that mean? Is that something that God does for us or do we play a role in it - or both? Join us for this message on another characteristic that is evident in the lives of those who want to live in the second mile as Christians. We explore the confusion behind what it means to be "justified" and "sanctified" and how purity of heart has the potential to open our eyes to actually be able to see God move in our lives and in the world around us.

When do we most resemble Jesus? When do our actions and behaviors cause others to see Jesus in us the most? While Jesus tells us that the world will know we are His disciples "by our love", in Matthew 5, he identifies another characteristic that allows us to be most recognizable as Children of God. This morning we look at what does it really mean to experience "the peace that passes understanding" and how that impacts our personal relationships. What does being a "peacemaker" look like lived out in our everyday lives?

Where the sin of others abounds, Christians should respond not with retaliation on the basis of our rights, but with generosity on the basis of Christ's grace.

Brother Timothy L. Farnes, the Young Men General President of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, encouraged BYU-Idaho graduates to become second-mile disciples.

In today's culture we once again find the idea of being merciful or offering mercy to be politicized and considered a weakness - the same was true in the 1st Century during the life of Jesus Christ. That is one of the reasons that the "Good Samaritan"s " actions in the parable in Luke 10 are considered controversial. It was much easier then and now to stay disengaged and not get involved. To rationalize in our mind that "they got what was coming" or maybe even "better them than me", but Jesus turned that idea on its head by calling his followers to be merciful not because someone deserves it but simply because if we are truly his followers we have been offered so much mercy from God that we can't help but show mercy to those around us. Join us as we look at our 5th characteristic of someone who can live and thrive in the 2nd Mile.

Here we examine what it really means to "Hunger and Thirsty for Righteousness" by breaking down what each word means and what that means for our Christian walk. Are we really hungry for the presence of God or are we hungry for what God can do for us, or for a religious experience, or does it only happen during tragedies and struggles? If we are ever going to thrive living out "Second Mile" Christianity we must develop a spiritual appetite for the presence of God in every area of our lives. The problem is we are not spiritually hungry because we are too filled by the "food of the world" or we have never really understood how "hungry and thirsty" our souls are for the presence of God. Join us as we break down and examine this very important character trait and "Beatitude" from Matthew 5:6. Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

When you think of the most powerful people on earth, meekness is not one of the character attributes we would usually use to describe them. Yet when Jesus is listing character traits that a Christ Follower will need to live and operate in the second mile, one of the most important is meekness. Not only is it the practical application when we seek to live the first two traits he has mentioned - it is what empowers us to strive to follow in his footsteps and be obedient to His Word. This message defines and explains what Biblical meekness is and why it is so important. It also gives us some practical examples of what meekness looks like lived out in our everyday lives. From Matthew 5:5. Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

At the start of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus follows up his call for those who want to follow him to be "poor in spirit" to promise for those who mourn that they will be comforted. It is easy to read this as meaning "mourn" in a sense of our emotional response to facing death, sickness or tragedy, and there are plenty of those promises in the New Testament, but that is not what he is talking about here. In verse 4 of Chapter 5, he is talking about a different type of mourning. A type of mourning that is the emotional response to the intellectual reality of verse 3 - a mourning over sin. All sin and its consequences - the sin in our world, our nation, in the lives of those we love and most importantly in our own lives. We can never expect to live in the second mile if we are not heartbroken over the things that break God's heart. Listen to discover what that might look like in our everyday lives and learn the promise that comes to those who are broken hearted over sin.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale wrapped up The Second Mile series with a look at what Jesus says when we find ourselves in need, focusing on living out Matthew 7:12 and embracing the idea that the Kingdom of God begins with us.

When we realize how difficult it is for us to follow Jesus by living in the second mile, we come to understand it is only through the help and power of the Holy Spirit that we might accomplish it. It is easy to live in the first mile in our own strength, understanding, talents and ability - but for "second mile people" it requires a total dependence on the Holy Spirit. Even that can be difficult, so Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount by giving us some heart attitudes / character traits that allow us to be open to the Holy Spirit's guidance and leadership and gives us motivation for the second mile. In this message we break down the first of those traits which is foundational for second mile living. From Matthew 5:1-3Thank you for listening to our podcast and we would love for you to subscribe to our page and share with others.

This Sunday, Govind reminded us that we read God's Word as forgiven people, and the temptation to judge is actually an invitation to our own healing.

We explore the context and history related to the passage as well as examining how it fits into the overall theme of the Sermon on the Mount. This new series will be looking at the Beatitudes and the role they play in helping us to develop a heart, passion and vision that will allow us to make the second mile our home.

This week, Danny explored emotions and the difference between healthy and unhealthy ways to respond to them. He focused on Jesus' teaching about anxiety, explaining that it is an unhealthy response to fear. Instead, we're invited to ask for help and allow that need to be met, building faith, trust, and deeper relationship with God and others.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale spoke about what it means to “entrust to” and “trust in”, releasing control to the One who holds our best interests at heart. He reminded us that when we live with generosity and mercy, we begin to experience the treasures of heaven even now.

This Sunday, Pastor Steve encouraged us through what Jesus says about how we are to respond when others oppose us.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale explains the invitation Jesus gives us to live a life of simple honesty— where our yes is believable, and our no is accepted.

This Sunday, Pastor Dale encouraged us to confront how our desires can become destructive. He reminded us that Jesus meets us there with grace and redirects our hearts toward what truly satisfies.

The Penn State child sex abuse scandal concerned allegations and subsequent convictions of child sexual abuse committed by Jerry Sandusky, an assistant coach for the Penn State Nittany Lions football team, over a period of at least fifteen years. The scandal began to emerge publicly in March 2011 and broke in early November 2011 when Sandusky was indicted on 52 counts of child molestation, stemming from incidents that occurred between 1994 and 2009.[1] Sandusky was ultimately convicted on 45 counts of child sexual abuse on June 22, 2012,[2] and was sentenced to a minimum of 30 years and a maximum of 60 years in prison.[3]Additionally, three Penn State officials – school president Graham Spanier, vice president Gary Schultz and athletic director Tim Curley – were charged with perjury, obstruction of justice, failure to report suspected child abuse, and related charges.[4] The Penn State Board of Trustees commissioned an independent investigation by former FBI Director Louis Freeh, whose report stated that Penn State's longtime head football coach Joe Paterno, along with Spanier, Curley and Schultz, had known about allegations of child abuse by Sandusky as early as 1998, had shown "total and consistent disregard...for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims", and "empowered" Sandusky to continue his acts of abuse by failing to disclose them.[5]: 14 [6][7] Shortly after the scandal broke, Spanier resigned. The Board of Trustees terminated the contracts of Paterno and Curley.As a result of the scandal, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) imposed sanctions on the Penn State football program: a $60 million fine, a four-year postseason ban, scholarship reductions, and a vacation of all victories from 1998 to 2011.[8] These sanctions were considered to be among the most severe ever imposed on an NCAA member school. NCAA President Mark Emmert stated that the sanctions were levied "not to be just punitive, but to make sure the university establishes an athletic culture and daily mindset in which football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people."[9][10] The Big Ten Conference subsequently imposed an additional $13 million fine.[11]The Paterno family retained former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh to conduct a review of the Freeh report, which concluded that the report constituted a "rush to injustice" that could not be relied upon[12][13] and that Freeh's evidence fell "far short" of showing that Joe Paterno attempted to conceal the scandal, but rather that "the contrary is true".[13] In January 2013, state senator Jake Corman and state treasurer Rob McCord sued the NCAA, seeking to overturn the Penn State sanctions on the basis that Freeh had been actively collaborating with the organization and that due process had not been followed. In November 2014, Corman released emails showing "regular and substantive" contact between Freeh's investigators and the NCAA, suggesting that Freeh's conclusions were orchestrated.[14] As part of a settlement, the NCAA restored the 111 wins to Paterno's record on January 16, 2015.[15][10]Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In week two of Easier Said Than Done, we're challenged to rethink our understanding of perfection and wholeness in our spiritual lives. Jesus' teachings on turning the other cheek and going the extra mile aren't just about passive endurance, but about creatively resisting evil and breaking cycles of violence. We're reminded that God's grace shines on both the righteous and unrighteous, calling us to extend that same indiscriminate mercy to others. This message invites us to move beyond mere justice to embrace a transformative generosity that permeates every aspect of our lives. As we reflect on these teachings, we're encouraged to step out of hiding and into the full light of God's grace, recognizing that He desires our wholeness more than our flawless performance.

On This Week at Charlestown Road, Jason and Roger revisit Sunday morning's sermon, “The Unexpected Steps of a Disciple,” digging deeper into what it looks like to follow Jesus in second mile discipleship.

Guest speaker Dr. Jeff Gaskins speaks today about Going the Second Mile in our faith. He talks about the key truth: We are to imitate Jesus in the way He related to people who were selfish, prejudiced, judgmental, hateful, and vengeful.      From February 16, 2025--Want to get connected to Coastway Church?Visit https://coastwaychurch.com/im-new--Find us online at:Website: https://coastwaychurch.comFacebook: http://www.facebook.com/coastwaychurchInstagram: http://www.instagram.com/coastwaychurch
