Jesus is asking us to imagine a world where oaths are completely unnecessary because people are always completely true, and then to live as if we’re already dwelling in that world. He shows us how in this passage.

Sex and sexuality, marriage and divorce are not easy topics to engage with, irrespective of how we seek to address them. Jesus shows us that there are deeper issues at play when considering these matters. In his words of wisdom, we’re exposed to a deeper problem than we realize, and pointed to a satisfying love greater than we could ever hope for.

Many people (both religious and otherwise) feel instinctively that there is a higher life we should be living, and that it requires some kind of transformation to get there. Jesus affirmed this, and shows us that it begins by dealing with anger and contempt in our hearts. Our transformation begins with reconciliation.

As 2020 closes out we all need hope for a better tomorrow. The prophet Isaiah gives us a picture of a tomorrow that is not only better than 2020 has been, but better than we could ever imagine. It is a picture that holds hope for tomorrow and power for today. Join us as we conclude our sermon series: Jesus of the Prophets.

Modern culture is deeply committed to the idea of progress: that history is a story headed someplace good. But often, no matter how much progress we make, it feels like we’re stuck in a doom loop. This famous prophecy from Micah shows us how Jesus helps us in the midst of our stuck places.
