Integrity
Living with integrity is a core element of Christian character, reflecting God's trustworthy nature. Jesus teaches that our words should be reliable and truthful, with our yes meaning yes and our no meaning no. Narcissism, whether stemming from past wounds or manifesting as harmful behavior towards others, can severely undermine integrity. True kingdom character requires keeping our word, communicating honestly, and recognizing our need for God's healing and guidance.
Exceeding Grace, Surpassing Righteousness
Torah of the Kingdom: Exceeding Grace, Surpassing Righteousness
God's grace represents loving kindness and covenant loyalty, not a reflection of human worthlessness. While we cannot earn God's love, we inherently deserve it as His created children. Jesus's teachings on adultery and divorce emphasize the importance of covenant faithfulness and protecting the vulnerable. True grace elevates people's worth while calling them to demonstrate selfless love and loyalty in their relationships. These teachings challenge us to extend genuine grace to others while maintaining high standards of faithfulness.
Kingdom Court
Torah of the Kingdom: Kingdom Court
Matthew 5:20 through 26
Is anger really that different from murder? Jesus's shocking teaching reveals how our everyday attitudes might be more dangerous than we think. Discover what self-centeredness and contempt for others say about the condition of our hearts. Ready to challenge your perspective on true righteousness?
Kingdom Righteousness
Torah of the Kingdom: Kingdom Righteousness
Matthew 5:16 through 19
As Yeshua begins to interpret and apply the Torah, He exposes those who have corrupted and burdened the people with their own self-serving interpretations. He hints at just how far their narcissism will eventually take them as He explains that righteousness begins with recognizing the value of every human life.
For the Sake of Righteousness
Torah of the Kingdom: For the Sake of Righteousness
Matthew 5:10-19
Jesus’ sermon on the Kingdom challenges every believer to consider how invested we are truly willing to be—to stake our claim in the Kingdom of Heaven. Those who choose to pursue the Kingdom will, in turn, be pursued by those whose loyalties lie with a different kingdom.
Sermon on the Mountain
The descendants of Abraham once again found themselves drawn to a mountain to hear the word of the Lord. But this time, the incarnate Son of God was seated before them—audibly speaking, teaching, and sharing His Torah. Words that are commonplace in Christianity today fell like nuclear bombs, transforming the hearts and minds of the sons and daughters of Abraham gathered there. Those who knew the Torah of Moses were now faced with a new way to approach the Torah, the heart of God, and the Kingdom of Heaven—revealed by the Son of God Himself.
