The Sermon on the Mount – Judging Others
Mike Sandusky
Should we judge others? Our natural instinct might be to say “No!” but, at the same time we have this very strong intrinsic desire to judge. What do we make of our thoughts on judgements and the ease with which we can make incredibly strong (and often hurtful) judgements?
The Sermon on the Mount – Our Hidden Life
Mike Sandusky
The most important parts of who we are, are hidden from view. Our thought life, our innermost desires and drives, and our spiritual life are all hidden from most people. We know, and God knows.

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 […]
