Sermon Cloud

The text we come to this weekend may well be the most controversial portion of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. It is a section that has intrigued people for centuries, has drawn some to the teachings of Christ, and has pushed others away. Great leaders, both Christian and “non”, have built their philosophies of peaceful non-resistance on this text. Our Anabaptist heritage is firmly rooted in the concepts Jesus teaches here.

How do you respond when you have been injured by another? There may be no more powerful expression of the “family heritage” that runs in the DNA of the child of God, than in looking at our willingness to forgive others when we have been personally wronged.

It is also one of the most difficult principles to live out!

Key Passages: Matthew 5:16 & Matthew 5:38-48
