Review 27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ 28 But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (27) Jesus simply quotes the OT law - “You shall not commit adultry” Seventh commandment (of the…

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away," but not when you have cancer. There are some folk remedies that do nothing to help you. There are others that do more harm than good. The Pharisees' folk remedy for sin was to obey the law, but their pretend perfection was a danger to their souls. Jesus tells us what we should really think about the law in his Sermon on the Mount.

Living Stones Don’t Lie Around When the learned, and wealthy John Selden was dying he said to Archbishop Usher, “I have surveyed most of the learning that is among the sons of men, and my study is filled with books and manuscripts (he had 8000 volumes in his library) on various subjects. But at present…

We’ve been talking for the past few weeks about how messy ministry can be. The reason why it’s messy is because your are dealing with sinful people who don’t always do things right. I believe one of the greatest gifts that any one of us poses is the gift of forgiveness. The ability to absolve someone…

Discrimination or judging a book by it's cover actually violates God's royal law - the law of love - therefore, if you discriminate than you are a lawbreaker. And you are not just guilty of violating a single law, but of breaking the enitre law because the individual laws reflect the will of the singular Lawgiver. So validate your religion by your words and actions for judgment is coming and show mercy for if you refuse your judgment will be merciless!

Framing your life by the Spirit fulfils the law of Christ.

God's grace in Christ produces the fruit of obedience in the life of the believer.

19 For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace…

Intro How do you live a holy life? How do you have victory over your sin and live a life that’s glorifying to God? For most Christians, its will power. They try their hardest, have some level of success, but eventually they fall into that sin again. They fail. Again. And sometimes it feels like they…

Sadly, within the Church we either have misunderstood God's Law or thrown it out altogether and now we are seeing the breaking down of all the structures in society both inside the Church and outside of the Church in our country. As a nation we are increasingly becoming sheep without a shepherd. In this sermon we take a big picture viewing of understanding God's Law in light of his character and how it actually shows us how to properly love our neighbor and restore justice!

Sermon Preached on September 30, 2018

Many people misunderstand The Law. One reason why is because evangelists and pastors no longer speak of it in regards to the role that it plays in the Gospel message. In this sermon, we unpack the use of the Law and how it condemns, all the while pointing to the necessity of Jesus Christ and His atoning work on our behalf.

The Sermon on the Mount: Living out the Law

This is sermon we look at Paul's understanding of the Law and how the redeeming power of Christ has freed us from the Law of Moses. How does this affect us as Christian Universalists and how do we understand the idea of God's justice and punishment with this verse in mind?

God is the Gauge of Grace God is the Gauge of Grace I chose this title partly because I wanted to be alliterative; and couldn’t quite find the word I wanted to fit into the title, in order to say, We Cannot Force the Hand of God for Our Justification and Salvation. Even when we do our very best to use…

In this message, we look at the reality that because Christians are bound to Jesus Christ, they are no longer bound by the Law. But that doesn't mean that sin should abound - by no means!

The Word of Christ brings true rest to us as we hear it by faith.

Believers are granted redemption and are adopted into God’s family.

Q. What does God's law require of us? A. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.

How does the law affect us today

Baptism is the Gospel in Action. It doesn't separate, it unites - Christ with us and us with one another. Traditions often exist to keep us safe by seeking to separate us from things that could harm us. That is a work of the Law.
