Cast It From You | Matthew 5:27-30 | Pastor Micah Stephens

In "Cast It From You," Pastor Micah Stephens deepens his exploration of the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing Jesus' teachings on sin beyond the physical acts. He explains that murder includes not only the act of killing but also hateful speech, while adultery encompasses lustful thoughts, highlighting the seriousness of these sins in God's eyes. Pastor Stephens questions whether these commandments are for God's benefit or ours, urging believers to consider how far they will go to emulate Christ. He vividly illustrates the gravity of these sins by referencing the drastic measures Jesus suggests — like removing a part of one's body to avoid hell — to stress that as Christians, our actions should reflect Christ's image, not distort it through murder or adultery, which misrepresent our Lord to the world.Verse References: Matthew 5 verses 27-30, Matthew 28 verses 19-20, Ephesians 5 verses 31-32, 1 Kings 11 verses 1-2, Deuteronomy 22 verse 22, Revelation 2 verses 20-23, Romans 1 verses 24-25, James 1 verses 14-15, 2 Samuel 11 verses 2-4, Proverbs 2:26-27, Exodus 15 verse 6, Genesis 38 verses 11-12, 1 Corinthians 6:18, Hebrews 12 verses 16-17, 1 Corinthians 10 verse 13, Romans 8 verse 18, 1 John 1 verses 7-9, James 5 verse 16, Titus 2 verses 11-12Make sure you subscribe to this channel and follow us on all our platforms to always stay up to date with our latest content!And you can always head over to our website for any general information!https://godspeak.comPrayer/NeedsIf you have any needs, or have a willingness to be used to meet various need in the body, please email [email protected].
