Today we look at the fourth example of Jesus’ contrasting of the Pharisees’ version of righteousness with the truth in [esvignore]Matthew 5:33-37[/esvignore].

Our message finds us back to Matthew as we continue our step-by-step walk through the gospel.…
This sermon forms the application of our previous message from [esvignore]Matthew 5:27-30[/esvignore], but we will also visit [esvignore]Romans 13:11-14[/esvignore].

Our message comes from [esvignore]Matthew 5:13-15[/esvignore]. We will examine the concept of salt and light. Jesus has just taught us the essence of the regenerate man, now he teaches us our responsibilities. This is a message that can challenge us to be doers, and will certainly convict us if we are not. Our message will be divided into these sections: The world…
Our message is entitled Persecuted Christians and will come from [esvignore]Matthew 5:2-12[/esvignore]. We’ll focus on the last two verses. This is the last of the beatitudes, so Jesus gave us a double saying, and encourages us to press on when we come into conflict with the world. I pray we will be challenged and encouraged by the words of our Lord. The sermon will…
