It is too easy to turn prayer into a time of wish fulfillment or as an opportunity to exalt our own oratory skill. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls believers to a deeper level of prayer. He calls us to prayer that brings us into closer communion with God and transforms not just our circumstances, but our hearts as well.

Throughout the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has been emphasizing a transformed life that results from a transformed heart. This is also true when it comes to giving. Jesus tells us that the giving God honors is the giving that comes as the outflow of a heart that has been transformed into the image of our generous and giving God.

We live in what is often described as a “dog eat dog world,” where from an early age we are taught that if we are hit to hit back harder. Jesus calls believers to something radically different. In fact, he calls us to do the impossible: to love and be a blessing to those who often hurt us.

Title: You and Your Word

Scripture: Matthew 5:33-37
We live in a culture that often that not only encourages embellishment and little “white” lies, but also in which many do not believe that an absolute moral truth exists. Jesus calls us to a higher standard where not only absolute moral truth exists, but in which our speech is full of truth.
