The Sermon on the Mount // Part 3

Pastor Mike Stevens Season 82 Episode 3

Join Pastor Mike Stevens in this insightful continuation of our Sermon on the Mount series as we explore Matthew 5:21-48 and dive deep into the heart of God's commandments.

In this segment, Pastor Mike challenges us to move beyond mere rules and seek the wisdom and ways of God. Discover how the Pharisees allowed religion to deteriorate into a set of rigid rules, contrasting with God's desire for us to grasp His heart and preserve it in our lives.

Explore the profound teachings of Jesus on topics like "Do not murder" and "Eye for eye," where Pastor Mike unveils the true essence of these commandments—to cultivate hearts of mercy and peace even in a world filled with strife.

Unpack powerful scriptures like James 1:19-20, Ephesians 4:26-27, and Matthew 5:7, 9, which reveal God's longing for us to develop hearts of compassion and reconciliation.

Delve into the radical teachings of Jesus on loving our enemies and the transformative power of forgiveness, challenging us to rise above worldly hate and represent Jesus well in our interactions.

Let's pray together to love like Jesus loves, to see others through His eyes, and to be washed and renewed in the Holy Spirit, shining His light in a world that needs it desperately.
