We are continuing steady in Season 1 titled “Back to the Basics.” Episode 4 will be the continuation of The Sermon on the Mount, ending our discussion on relationships with people, entitled “Head vs. Heart Part 2.”
Jesus lays His foundation for preaching/teaching by quoting two of the Ten Commandments. He addresses murders and adultery; both sins against our fellow man, and were understood as outward expressions/deeds/actions.
Jesus is going to destroy the religious mindset that tries to build well behaved people, and shows us that it is not the outward manifestations of these actions that are the problem. Murder never comes out of nowhere. Before adultery is ever born in a bedroom, it is conceived in the heart.
Jesus came to fulfill the heart of God, which is for us to be transformed from the inside out! To love one another from pure hearts and sincere faith. To never allow ourselves to strip our fellow man of their worth. You will never meet a person God doesn’t love, and you will never meet a person that is here by accident. God’s yes and amen had to be over their conception for them to even exist.
We also discuss an interesting take on if your right hand/right eye offends you cut it off/pluck it out. Can’t wait for you to hear it. Whatever keeps you stumbling, do whatever it takes, take whatever measures necessary to make sure it doesn’t keep you stumbling forever. Your eternity is way more valuable than temporary pleasure.
In Part 2 of Head vs. Heart we tackle more ways to live at peace and unity in all of our relationships!!
We begin with the HOT TOPIC of divorce and what that means in context to what Jesus is releasing to the people as opposed to what one might think just skimming by. There’s no need to avoid His word, not when we can understand it.
We talk about not jumping into petty arguments, an eye for an eye, and being a people of integrity. Let our yes be yes and our no be no. Keep it simple. There’s less room for error that way!
The point of all of this is to be perfect—mature, reaching the end-goal—because our Father is perfect/complete/entire/lacking nothing, and we should be—and want to be a reflection of who He is!
We will start tackling Chapter 6 next week! I hope you’ll tune in!
I hope you enjoy this episode and will continue to follow along with us as we endeavor to walk this path together, and sit at the table of the Lord and feast together!
Please feel free to reach out with any questions or comments that you may have. We will do our best to answer in a timely manner either in writing or on another future episode! But we do want to hear from you and be able to interact with you.
May God bless you! Can’t wait to see where we grow from here. It’s an honor to be able to speak into your lives, and I don’t take it for granted!
