What God Values: Part 2 | Zane Garza | Matthew 5:27–30In 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.Chapters:0:00:00 - Introduction & The Candle Illustration0:04:51 - Understanding True Righteousness in Matthew 50:06:06 - The Problem with External Righteousness0:07:24 - The Meaning of Adultery0:09:47 - Adultery Starts in the Heart0:12:05 - Defining Lust and Whosoever0:14:47 - The Sin of Pornography0:15:47 - Why God Values People and Relationships0:18:20 - The Heart is the Real Issue0:18:47 - The Story of David and Bathsheba0:21:05 - The Two Implications of This Truth0:23:37 - Heart Issues Require Heart Surgery0:27:54 - Application: Cover Your Heart0:29:50 - The Covenant of the EyesAt Canyon Ridge Baptist Church, our passion is to share the life-changing truth of the Bible.
