A Christian ought to do right things for God’s glory secretly, knowing that only God’s approval matters

A Christian should not seek out their own justice, but should repay injustice with willing submission and forgiveness, entrusting final justice to God.

Christians let their “yes be yes” and their “no be no,” giving God all the glory when they can fulfill their intentions.

A church is be devoted to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, and have favor with others.

A church is a display of God’s glory.

Sermon Summary: The church is a people founded upon the gospel.

Divorce is a terrible thing. God hates it because it makes a wife into an adulteress, or commits adultery, and does not mirror His faithfulness to His Bride, the church.

Jesus provides us with an ideal prescription for what love without limits looks like. Through the Holy Spirit’s power, we can learn to love the unlovely, the hurtful, and the haters, without limits.

The Christian response to sin is to eradicate the connection to temptation, because it is better for us to lose that connection than suffer the wrath of God.

Jesus wants us to understand that having anger at another person is liable to the same judgment as committing murder in God’s eyes, and therefore we should be seeking reconciliation to those we have wronged.
