Pastor Luke Simmons and Pastor Luke Troutt address the issue of violence in the world in a sermon titled "Crucial Questions in a Violent World."They shift from their ongoing series on the Seven Deadly Sins to provide guidance rooted in Scripture, focusing on Matthew 9:35-37. By exploring a theology of violence and delving into the reasons behind it, they offer a biblical perspective on how to process the current climate of unrest with godly wisdom.Through three crucial questions, they challenge believers to consider who narrates their world, how to love their enemies, and what actions to take in response to recent events. Join them in seeking a balance of soft hearts and steel spines in today's times.00:00 - Introduction07:53 - Origins of Violence11:00 - Father of Violence12:43 - Ministry of Violence16:46 - End of Violence25:20 - Three crucial questions**HOW TO FIND US*** SUBSCRIBE TO OUR YouTube CHANNEL: https://www.youtube.com/@IronwoodChurchAZFACEBOOK https://www.facebook.com/ironwoodchurchaz/ INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/ironwood.church/WEBSITE https://www.ironwoodchurch.org/

Tom Clark discusses Matthew 5:14-16—“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

In this 9th sermon in our series on the Sermon On The Mount Rev. Eric Phillips looks at the identity and calling to be peacemakers in light of the current animosity and division within our nation.

We're in the middle of our series, Lock In: What Jesus Actually Teaches About His Return and the End of the World.In this week's message, Jesus tells a story about three servants preparing for His return. The first two make God proud. But the third? Apparently, he ends up in hell??What on earth is this parable about? What is Jesus saying?Turns out, it's not really about performance... But it is about your heart.

When people Google Bonterra, they often see 2021 as its starting point. That year, lead investor Apax joined with Vista, holder of Social Solutions, and Insight Partners, holder of EveryAction, to unite those businesses under one brand. But, as Matthew Hardy tells us, the company's history stretches much further back—“We have customers that are 20–25-year-old customers, so (there are) a lot of longstanding relationships.”From its earliest days, Bonterra's mission has been clear: provide “purpose-built software for nonprofits.” Today, that includes tools for strategic philanthropy, enabling Fortune 50 companies and foundations to distribute funds, manage grants, and ensure resources reach the right causes.Its Impact Management business works with both small nonprofits and large entities—including city and state initiatives involving millions of dollars—to answer the central question: “What's the impact?” Hardy tells us many philanthropists have historically invested without a clear view of results; Bonterra's solutions aim to change that.Fundraising and Engagement solutions—traditional CRM-style donor management platforms—serve nonprofits across the spectrum, from micro-organizations to nationally recognized names.Although backed by private equity “impact funds,” Hardy stresses there's no easing of performance expectations. Bonterra tracks “all the same metrics you would typically see in your vertical SaaS companies”—from new and install base bookings to gross and net retention, margins, and EBITDA.Ultimately, Hardy's strategic lens centers on value realization. “If your customers…aren't finding significant value…you're not going to last long,” he tells us. Whether helping nonprofits hit fundraising goals or guiding corporate giving programs, Bonterra's work is measured by both mission and metrics.

Changing the world starts with changing our hearts—and that's where following Jesus comes in. The real work of transformation begins when we turn away from our old ways, choose to live with Him at the center, and surrender our personal ambitions to His mission. Jesus invites us to follow Him into new life, a life that's focused on loving God and loving others. When we choose to follow Him, we become part of His mission to bring healing and hope to the world.

Rebekah's Website (Host)Let's contemplate a question together... Why are you? What am I? Would you believe me if I told you that it's essential to have a good (right) answer to this question or it will negatively affect your whole life and every relationship in it? Yes, it's that important. Listen in today as I chat with one of my very closest friends about this question.... and boy, does it get good. Also, as promised, here are some names and identities that God gives His children in the Bible:Children of God – John 1:12, 1 John 3:1Beloved – Romans 1:7, Colossians 3:12Saints (Set Apart, Holy Ones) – 1 Corinthians 1:2, Ephesians 1:1Chosen – 1 Peter 2:9, Ephesians 1:4Royal Priesthood – 1 Peter 2:9Holy Nation – 1 Peter 2:9God's Special Possession – 1 Peter 2:9Ambassadors for Christ – 2 Corinthians 5:20The Light of the World – Matthew 5:14Salt of the Earth – Matthew 5:13New Creation – 2 Corinthians 5:17More Than Conquerors – Romans 8:37Heirs of God and Co-Heirs with Christ – Romans 8:17Temple of the Holy Spirit – 1 Corinthians 6:19Friends of God – John 15:15Branches of the Vine (Connected to Christ) – John 15:5Citizens of Heaven – Philippians 3:20Redeemed – Galatians 3:13, Titus 2:14Forgiven – Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:13-14Sealed with the Holy Spirit – Ephesians 1:13Workmanship (Masterpiece) of God – Ephesians 2:10Adopted into God's Family – Romans 8:15, Ephesians 1:5Victorious in Christ – 1 Corinthians 15:57Sheep of His Pasture – Psalm 100:3, John 10:11Justified by Faith – Romans 5:1Rescued from Darkness – Colossians 1:13Salt and Light – Matthew 5:13-14God's Inheritance – Ephesians 1:18Called and Sent by God – 2 Timothy 1:9Free in Christ – Galatians 5:1

In Matthew 25: 31-46 we learned that Jesus' judgment is based on our response to his message and his messengers.

This series of messages explores the Journey of Jesus as outlined in the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus proclaims the arrival of the Kingdom of God and calls His followers to a life of faith, righteousness and discipleship. The Book Of Matthew challenges, instructs, and reveals the truth of God's Kingdom, calling His people to genuine obedience, confronting religious hypocrisy and offering the hope of salvation through Jesus, the promised Messiah. This book speaks not only to individuals but also to leaders and society, urging all to embrace God's rule in their lives.   Today, we are diving into Matthew 5:13-16 and also celebrating 7 years of Open Arms Sandyford. We pray that this message challenges and blesses you. #openarms #churchonline #sermon #onlinechurch  Stay Connected: Visit our website - https://openarms.ie/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/openarms.ie/ Instagram - https://instagram.com/openarms_church Donate/Give - https://openarms.ie/giving

Olivia Adubofour | Become The Light In A Dark World | Matthew 5:16 | 1.12.25   This sermon reminds the youth that we are called to be the light of the world. They are encouraged to not only pursue the things of the Lord, but to also let their light shine bright for others to be able to see Christ and navigate in this dark world.

Most Christians and non-Christians alike have heard and may even be able to recite what is commonly known as 'The Lord's Prayer.' But what may be less commonly known is its power for spiritual depth, revolutionizing our faith, leading us into an effective and meaningful prayer life, and providing practical and spiritual guidance for daily living. *****Support This Channel*****Paypal: https://paypal.me/jimivision?locale.x=en_USMonthly Support on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/JimivisionCash App: https://cash.app/$JimivisionVenmo: https://venmo.com/Jimmy-Cooper-17 Contact KenEmail: askbible4family@gmail.com Phone: 401-47-BIBLE https://www.bible4.family Mail To:Jimmy CooperJimivision MediaP.O.

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house.” (Matthew 5:14–15 NLT)   After Jesus said His followers are “the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13 NLT), He said we're also “the light of the world.” The contrast between those two images, salt and light, is interesting. Salt is hidden; light is obvious. If you've ever been in a movie theater when someone pulls out their phone to check messages or scroll through social media, you know how obvious light is in a dark place.   Salt works secretly; light works openly. Salt works from within; light works from without. Salt represents an indirect influence of the gospel; light represents a more direct communication. Salt and light work in harmony. If I'm salty—that is, if I'm living as I ought to live as a follower of Jesus—it effectively earns me the right to let my light shine before others.   By its very nature, light exposes darkness. Have you ever lost something in the dark? Maybe, say, a burrito in your car at night. You don't know where it went. But when you look the next morning, you find it with no problem. A little light exposed it.   In the same way, when God's light shines in our lives, we see things we haven't seen before. In John 3:19, Jesus says, “And the judgment is based on this fact: God's light came into the world, but people loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil” (nlt). People who are evil hate the light. They avoid it, lest their evil deeds be exposed.   That's why if you ask certain people to go to church with you, you get an emphatic no. They want nothing to do with it. Or if you try to read a Bible passage, you get an objection. Church and God's Word shine spotlights into dark places. People don't want to come to the light or have a conversation about Jesus because they don't want to change their lifestyle. They've grown accustomed to the dark and don't want it exposed.   Remember, though, light also shows the way out of darkness. When I'm in a hotel room, I leave a light on—usually in the bathroom—in case I need to go there in the middle of the night. When I'm navigating unfamiliar territory, I don't want to trip. The light helps me find my way through the darkness.   In the same way, God's light helps people navigate through the darkness of this world so that they can find their way to Him. And Jesus gives us the privilege of being that light for others. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless.” (Matthew 5:13 NLT) In Jesus' day, salt had great value. In fact, Roman soldiers were sometimes paid in salt. That's where we get the expression, “He's not worth his salt.” Salt was valuable because it stopped the spread of rot in meat. In the days before refrigeration, people would cut meat into strips and embed it in salt to preserve it. The followers of Christ, the salt of this world, serve a similar function. Christians stop the spread of rot—or evil—in our culture today. Christians stand up for the rights of the unborn. Christians speak out against racism and try to bring about reconciliation. Christians help people in need. That's what it means to be salt in our culture today. Another thing salt does is stimulate thirst. If you eat salty popcorn in a movie theater, it will make you thirsty. (And then you'll have to spring for a soft drink the size of a small wading pool—with free refills—or a $40 bottled water.) As the salt of the earth, believers stimulate a thirst to know God in others. When people see someone who loves the Lord, walks with Him, and experiences His joy, they get curious. Maybe a little envious. They start to want what the believer has. That's how I came to Christ. I had transferred to a new high school. One of my friends warned me, “Greg, the Jesus freaks are everywhere here. Be careful.” I said, “Oh, yeah. The last thing that's ever going to happen is that Greg Laurie will become a Jesus freak.” Famous last words, right? But here's what interested me about these people: They had joy and happiness—things I didn't have. I realized that there was an emptiness in my life. It was the believers' walk with God that attracted me to them. I showed up at one of their meetings but sat far enough away that people wouldn't think I was one of them. When I heard what it means to be a Christian, I gave my life to the Lord. The thing that ultimately reached me was Christians being salty. Christians living as Christians ought to live was very attractive to me. Likewise, Christians who have lost their saltiness can make people turn up their noses at our faith. If you treat your faith like a chore—or if you take it seriously only when it's convenient for you—people will notice. And they'll judge your faith to be worthless. If you live your faith with passion, purpose, and joy, people will also notice. And they'll start to get thirsty. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest PartnerSupport the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Hope for the World" – Matthew 5:38-48 Part IV of the Sermon Series "Invest in Hope" Sermon by the Rev. Elizabeth N.H. Link from World Communion Sunday, October 6, 2024. "Violence persists in this world, and so what are we, the Body of Christ, to do? "In our passage, Jesus is trying to tell his disciples—Jesus is trying to tell us what to do. We get this piece of wisdom in Matthew 5 about loving our enemies because Jesus cares deeply how we, disciples then and now, practice this thing he calls the 'kingdom of heaven.' This sermon of his is about bending, bending, bending that arc towards justice, all while pointing to a new heaven and a new earth made possible through the hope of Jesus Christ.
