In this message, Jesus confronts the ways Scripture can be manipulated to serve selfish desires and exposes a religious system that prized technical righteousness over transformed hearts. Walking through Matthew 5, we see Jesus call His followers beyond church performance into Christ-reliance—where integrity replaces loopholes, generosity replaces retaliation, and love extends even to enemies. This teaching challenges us to submit to God’s Word, let our character carry weight, and grow into spiritual maturity by reflecting the heart of the Father in how we live, speak, and love others.
