Welcome to the Summer of the Sermon! Each Sunday through the summer we are going to go through and dig in to the Sermon on the Mount and discover what exactly Jesus wants from us.
Anger can destroy us. We cannot let anger wriggle its way into our lives or else we will be eat up with it. And, with that anger in our lives, we cannot be reconciled to God.
Many of us have always felt that if we don’t murder someone, we are OK. If we don’t “say” anything bad about someone that is OK. Jesus came in and said, “It’s not about what you say or what you do as much as it is about what’s in your heart.” He takes the law and he tells us we have to raise the bar. So, it’s not about murder or hate as much as it is about loving God and pursuing Jesus. It is in this state of mind that we will find peace with God.
