What God Values: Part 2 | Zane Garza | Matthew 5:27–30

In this sermon, Pastor Zane Garza preaches on Matthew 5:27–30, continuing the series on what God truly values. He explains that while the Pharisees had an external righteousness based on the law, Jesus teaches that true righteousness must come from the heart. Using a personal and relatable illustration about a broken candle, Pastor Zane highlights that what seems good on the outside may not be right on the inside. He emphasizes that according to Jesus, adultery is more than just a physical act—it begins with lust in the heart. This message challenges us to examine our inner man and to understand that God values people and relationships, not external conformity.
