The Sermon on the Mount – Love Your Enemies (Forgiveness)
Chris Silcott
1. Recognize we’ve been totally forgiven by the grace of Jesus when we’re saved. Once we understand the depth of our sin and the distance it placed between us and God, and once we get a glimpse of the sacrifice Jesus made to restore fellowship with us, we should not hesitate to forgive. If we […]
The Sermon on the Mount – Non-Retaliation

The Sermon on the Mount – Christians and the Old Testament
Mike Sandusky
What is the relevance of the Old Testament for Christians? Do we follow it? Why do we still think the Ten Commandments are valid, but we also eat “unclean” animals? If it made the Hebrews unclean to wear mixed fabrics, why can we? If we stoned people in the OT, why don’t we today? This […]
