Sermons from February 2022

We consider the importance and application of Jesus’ teaching that “out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” Every thought, attitude, word, and behavior flows from the heart. If we are to avoid hypocrisy and grow as disciples, we must learn how to understand the heart and how to behold God and his truth to change the heart into Christlikeness. Passage: Luke 6:43-45

This sermon examines Jesus warning about a judgmental or critical spirit stemming from a heart of self-righteousness. Disciples of Christ are called to show the forgiveness, mercy, and grace we’ve received through Jesus Christ. This is a call to see your sin and turn to Christ in repentance and to find peace in him and strength to love others. Passage: Luke 6:37-42

This sermon continues to examine Jesus’ command to love our enemies. The key to loving our enemies is to imitate the love of God. We can do this because we have received this love and are enamored with this love. If we sing about this love, let us also live in light of this love. Passage: Luke 6:31-36

This sermon considers what it means to love our enemies and how we can do that in the grace that God provides. Here is a call to be other-worldly in our dealings with our opponents. Timely and needed in our present hour. Passage: Luke 6:27-31
