Turn Down the Noise of the World // Jesus in His Own Words // Dr. Gary Singleton

Summary of the Passage (Matthew 6:5-18): Just like last week’s hypocrites who give to the needy, Jesus rebukes hypocrites who pray and fast for recognition and praise. He instructs us to instead pray as He does in the iconic “The Lord’s Prayer”. Jesus allows us to use Him as an example; commanding that we pray, forgive, and fast as He did—with full humility and with full intention to grow closer to the Father. Discussion Questions: 1. Verses 5-8: Where are we at? - What does prayer look like for...

Don't Settle For Earthly Rewards // Jesus in His Own Words // Pierce Vanderslice

Summary of the Passage (Matthew 6:1-4): Jesus once again promotes humility and trusting in God’s counter-cultural lifestyle, just as He has in the previous weeks. This time, Jesus discusses giving to the needy and how this action should stem from a love for God and understanding of who He is instead of a desire to be praise by God or man for “being a good person.” He promises us in verse 4 that our Father will see us in secret and that will be enough. Discussion Questions: 1. Verse 1: Prideful G...

Gary reflects on how this message of grace and humility resonates deeply in today’s society, marked by increasing anger and division. They discuss the timeless relevance of Jesus’ teachings, emphasizing that while human nature remains consistent, the practical need for such messages may feel more urgent in cu...

Love Your Enemies // Jesus in His Own Words // Dr. Gary Singleton

Summary of the Passage (Matthew 5:38-48): The point that Jesus is driving home in all these verses can be summed up by verse 44, “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Jesus demonstrates a great humility that comes from following Him alone when He commands us to not retaliate when our enemies treat us poorly because He is slow to anger when people treat Him poorly. If we only tolerate our enemies instead of loving them or only loving people who are easy to lo...

Experiencing Freedom From Pornography // Message Recap ft. Jordan & Caitlin Barrick

Instead of recapping Sunday’s sermon on lust from our "Jesus in His Own Words" series, Pierce sits down with Jordan and Caitlin to explore their own journey through addiction and healing. Jordan shares candidly about his struggles with pornography from a young age, the toll it took on his marriage, and the path that led him to seek genuine redemption. Caitlin opens up about her experiences as the spouse on the receiving end, the emotional impact of Jordan’s struggles, and the role of forgiveness...

Cutting Off Lust // Jesus in His Own Words // David Barrett

Summary of the Passage (Matthew 5:27-32): In this passage, Jesus addresses the seventh commandment, “you shall not commit adultery,” and ties it into lust. His words cut like a double-edged sword as He tells us that looking at someone with lust is the equivalence of committing adultery and that we should sacrifice sinful parts of ourselves lest our whole selves be subject to damnation. This section ends with Jesus’ counter-cultural message in Biblical times and today’s world: divorce is acceptab...
