Matthew 6:1-21 "Kingdom Culture" Part 7

What is the Christ centered mindset we are called to have? Temporary treasures on earth, or permanent treasures in Heaven? Is it our desire for our deeds to be seen by man, or for our deeds to be done in secret for the Father? Jesus instructs us to not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing.

3 key points to focus on are:

  1. Giving

  2. Praying

  3. Fasting

Jesus also teaches us how to pray and says; “in this manner, therefore pray.” In the Lord’s Prayer, the word Father is the Christian name for God.

Luke 2: 21-38 "I Can't Believe it's Christmas"

Merry Christmas! Can you believe it’s Christmas time again so soon?

The Gospel of Luke Chapter 2 continues with the introduction of Simeon, a just and devout man and Anna, a prophetess. Two people who have been waiting their entire lives to see God’s prophecy fulfilled with His Son being born to take away the sins of the world. Jesus, meaning, Yahweh is salvation. The end of the book of Malachi begins 400 years of silence from God until the birth of Jesus.

We are to be like Simeon and Anna, patiently, faithfully waiting. Perhaps we have been born to see with our own eyes the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Our perspective should be like Simeon and Anna that Christmas, the celebrated birth of our Lord and Savior, is finally here!

Matthew 5:27-37 "Kingdom Culture" Part 5

Pastor Brian continues this study into the Sermon on the Mount.

The word ‘kingdom’ is used and referenced throughout today’s message and study. Jesus wants to reach out to the deepest struggles within the human heart. Beyond the deed, beyond the act, to heal at the heart level. Sin is always a heart issue. Sin is progressive in nature and is exponential in its destructive force. Let us pray daily for conviction of the spirit in our hearts. Conviction proves that God is working in us.

Matthew 5:21-26 "Kingdom Culture" Part 4

Pastor Brian continues this study with key observations and take away points.

Jesus wants to teach us:

  1. The severity of unrighteous anger

  2. Relationships are more important than religious activity

  3. We need to handle anger the right way

Unrighteous anger is poison. It will always cloud our wisdom and interfere with our spiritual walk. When anger enters, wisdom departs. The anger of today is the remorse of tomorrow. Our anger is then our problem and we need to take it to Jesus in prayer

  1. Do not lose your sense of agreeableness

  2. Do not let moss grow under your feet, move, be purposeful

  3. Do not lose sight of the big picture

  4. Be willing to be wrong

Anger is one letter away from danger.

Matthew 5:13-16 "Kingdom Culture" Part 2

Jesus tells us here that we, you, I, are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

  1. Salt flavors

  2. Salt preserves

  3. Salt heals

  4. Salt creates thirst

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

  1. Light shines

  2. Light disperses darkness

  3. Light exposes

  4. Light is to be seen not only heard

Since God is bigger than us and He lives inside of us, then Jesus should shine through us into our assigned mission field where we are called to bring illumination. Let us repent, be renewed and walk forward in faith.
