The Lure of Lust
Dan Mitchum - October 19, 2025
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reverses the world’s value system. The poor are blessed, mourners find comfort, and the meek are honored. While this is a great source of encouragement, Jesus also says things that aren’t as easy to accept. For instance, He said harboring anger toward someone is akin to murder. And, if we look lustfully at another person, we’re committing adultery in our hearts. These are hard truths. But Jesus speaks these words to set us free from the prison of resentment and bitterness, and free from the pain of searching for love in superficial relationships. Join us as we hear the hard—but liberating—teaching of Jesus.

The Fulfillment of the Law
Out with the old, in with the new. This is a common theme in our throw-away culture. When Jesus came into the world, He established a new covenant, inaugurated a new kingdom, and gave His followers a new heart, but does that mean that He let go of everything from the past? Is the Old Testament still relevant for us today? Join us as we gain a deeper understanding of the words of Jesus, “I have not come to abolish… but to fulfill.”
