Message: “The Order of Things” from Jim Haskell
A message from the series “The Sermon on the Mount.” We enter the last few weeks of our Sermon on the Mount series as Pastor Jim presents an exposition of Matthew 7:7-12 entitled “The Order of Things.” We will look at how and why we request help from God is related to how we treat others. It is an interesting and important perception that Jesus taught on the side of the mountain that day.

A message from the series “The Sermon on the Mount.” Today, in our Sermon on the Mount Series, Zach leads us as we explore what Jesus says about judgement and how we live and interact in a world full of opinions and ideas. We need a kingdom mindset and Jesus teaches us how to have one.

Message: “Faith Greater Than Anxiety” from Jimmy Baughcum
A message from the series “The Sermon on the Mount.” Jesus instructed His followers to live according to His kingdom by trusting God rather than living in the grip of anxiety. We will discover that as we are tempted to live with worry over the future, trust in Jesus is greater than our anxiety. Trust > Anxiety

Message: “The Heart of Fasting” from Darren Hughes
A message from the series “The Sermon on the Mount.” The idea behind the heart of fasting can take time to reach a consensus. However, it is more than a checklist item for a “good Christian.” This passage is rooted in Jewish tradition and for all future Christians. These two verses help show us the real heart behind why fasting is effective for those desiring more of Jesus.

Message: “Irrational Living ” from Jim Haskell
A message from the series “The Sermon on the Mount.” Irrational Living
Matthew 5:38-48
1. React with Surprising Generosity (Matthew 5:38-42)
38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
But even if we have rights, Salt and Light Followers of Jesus are encouraged to react counter culturally by voluntarily giving up their rights in order to be used by God most effectively.
2. Retaliate with Unexpected Kindness (Matthew 5:43-47)
43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor[i] and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?
Lessons to Learn for Transformative Living
• Revenge is never as satisfying as it looks.
• Revenge is normally more damaging to the one seeking revenge than the recipient.
• Revenge cancels an open window opportunity to make a statement about our loving and forgiving Heavenly Father.
• Revenge Blocks our Light and dissolves our Salt.
God expects us to not only surrender our rights but to retaliate with radical grace which will seem to unbelievers as irrational.
3. Live with God as Model (Matthew 5:48)
48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
• Realize we are all sinners (Romans 3:23)
• Sin has separated us from God (Romans 6:23)
• Accept God’s Forgiveness (Romans 5:8)
• Trust in Jesus for your Life and Future (Romans 10:9, 13)
• Grow into the person God desires for you (Ephesians 4:15)
We should not live our lives trying to be better than others, but live comparing our lives to The Father and His son Jesus.

Message: “Nurturing a Healthy Marriage” from Jim Haskell
A message from the series “The Sermon on the Mount.” Nurturing a Healthy Marriage
Matthew 5:27-30
1. Precautions (Matthew 5:27-28)
27 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’[e] 28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
“You shall not commit adultery.” (Exodus 20:14)
• Realize that no one is immune
• Continue to build your personal relationship with God.
• When you can identify a counselee’s perfume, refer her to someone else.
• Stay away from people of places that tempt you
• In the ministry, an accusation that is false can be almost as damaging as if it were true.
• Give off the vibe/signal that you are not interested
• Go into every meeting you might have with a member of the opposite gender valuing their worth and professional vocational needs but protecting yourself by arranging things that assure you will not be in a private or intimate setting
• Avoid being alone with someone of the opposite gender for rides or meals when at all possible
• Be careful of how you use social media
• If you are struggling in your marriage, go to a professional not a friend of the opposite gender
• Communicate to both in the marriage when contacting by text, DM or email
• Pour yourself into your marriage
In order be immune from adultery and the damage that it can do to your marriage, recognize and learn how to reject lust in its infancy.
2. Actions (Matthew 5:29-30)
29 If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30 And if your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.
