Matthew 5:2126 is clearly one unit. It is the first of six units that begin \"You have heard that it was said, but I say to you . . . \" These six units are Jesus' explanation of the Christian righteousness that surpasses that of the scribes and Pharisees. Verse 20, which leads into these six units, says, \"For I say to you, that unless your righte...
The reason for choosing this text this morning has to do with where we are in the Master Planning Process at Bethlehem.
We believe that God has given us a powerful and biblical Mission Statement and Vision for Bethlehem for the next several years. We exist \"to spread a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples.\" We have six fresh initiatives to pursue, clusters of values to live by and a prayer goal of 2000 by 2000 to pour out our l...
That's what next Sunday is designed for: bringing pledges to the Lord so that when October rolls around, we will each (as God leads us) give a one-time gift to eliminate entirely the $1.1 million debt on this building. But the task force for resources realized from the outset that debt removal is not the greatest thing. Debt is not the biggest obst...
\"Therefore . . . \" verses 23 and 24 follow. And they are utterly relevant to what we are about as a church in the next week. If contempt for a brother or sister (= fellow human being) imperils your soulif it threatens to cut you off from God forever, as verse 22 says (by referring to hell), then you can't just come happily on your way to worship ...
In verses 2122 he has focused on the contempt we may feel for a brother and how we may despise him with anger or words like \"fool\" and \"Raca\" (= imbecile, or dolt, or the like). But when he makes the transition to how this relates to worship and giving, he shifts the focus slightlyaway from our subjective feelings of anger or contempt or despis...
So, very practically and specifically, what this means is that this week there are two things to pray about for next Sunday, not just one. We are all praying, \"Lord, how much should I pledge toward Freeing the Future from debt at Bethlehem? What is my part in the $1.1 million challenge?\" But there is something more important to be praying about. ...
The acceptability of our pledges next Sunday morning hangs in part on whether we will obey this text this week. To be willing to pledge $20,000 next Sunday, but be unwilling to make a hard phone call to a person you have wronged would not be pleasing to the Lord.
Aug 22, 2020 · Matthew 16:15-18. Today’s gospel reading offers us one of the most profound questions in all of scripture, asked by Jesus to his disciples: “Who do you say that I am?” This is a basic question that I believe all followers of Jesus must answer – and not just once, but at various times in our life: Who do we say that Jesus is?
