Love Your Enemies

Love Your Enemies

The command to love our enemies is one of the distinctive of Christianity—but would Jesus have told us to do it if we weren’t able to? And what would happen if we took Jesus seriously?

An Eye for an Eye

An Eye for an Eye

How do you react when someone does something against you? One of Jesus’ most radical teachings is that instead of retaliating we are to love. This is hard to do but it’s the way of the Kingdom.

Speak the Truth!

Speak the Truth!

Telling the truth seems like an easy concept but it’s not an easy one for us to live out. Jesus challenges us to honesty in the Sermon on the Mount—to do what we say and say what we’ll do.

Marriage & Divorce

Marriage & Divorce

Divorce is a challenging reality in our world and most people are affected by it one way or another. How should the Christian think about divorce? Jesus gives us much to think about in the Sermon on the Mount.

Unfaithfulness

Unfaithfulness

This week Art Birch speaks about Unfaithfulness (Matthew 5:27-30). He challenges us that lust is adultery in the heart, requiring truly righteous people to take radical action, find freedom through repentance and connection.

The Song of Humility

The Song of Humility

Humility is a virtue that we respect and value in others but can be so hard to put into practice in our lives. Mary, the mother of Jesus, helps us see how we can reject pride and fear and embrace humble confidence in God.

Surrender

Surrender

Surrendering to God isn't just a one-time event; it's a daily choice to trade our distractions for His rest. This week we explore how we can practically surrender our heavy burdens, our time, and even our tech habits to God.

Anger & Reconciliation

Anger & Reconciliation

It’s easy to think we are living righteously just by avoiding major sins, but Jesus calls us to a much deeper standard of radical reconciliation. We explore how Christ not only reveals the true heart of God's law, but empowers us to live it out.

The Law & the Kingdom

The Law & the Kingdom

One of the questions for readers of the Bible is the relationship of the OT and its laws to the NT and the teachings of Christ. Jesus brings great hope and clarity to those who struggle to see how they could ever measure up.

Salt & Light

Salt & Light

The Christian life changes the world. Jesus says as much by using two memorable metaphors for the effect a Christian has on the world: salt and light. The effect of a life lived for Christ, then, is pervasive and powerful.
