Sermon Date:  3/15/2020

Jesus came to fulfill the Law and show us the real meaning of the commandments, the Law is there to protect us because God cares about us.  Anger is the real meaning behind the 6th commandment.  Our anger is self centered based upon something that has happened to us personally and we shouldn't let anger control us.

Matthew 5:13-16 "Salt and Light"

You are the salt of the earth.  But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again?  It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.

You are the light of the world.  A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.  Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.  Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.

Pastor Anthony answers the questions:
- What are we doing with the salt and light? 
- Are we spreading them?

 

Matthew 5, 10-12 "How to be Blessed" Part 5

Sermon date: 2/23/2020

*Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

*Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

These are the last two beatitudes Jesus delivered from the sermon on the mount.  Join us as the Lord teaches us to be an unashamed Christ follower and that He holds us accountable for our sins.  We should all strive to live a life that is pleasing to Him.
