Jesus will rock the ancient world as He welcomes a non-Jew into His Kingdom. In fact, Jesus praises the centurion for faith that surpasses anyone in the nation of Israel.

Come for 7 minutes to meet a man who understands authority, submission, compassion and FAITH.

There is a bigger miracle here than in the healing of the leper. It is that Jesus touches him. He grabs hold of him. Jesus lays siege to a leper. It is an aggressive word in the text.

IMHO, this is the Lord saying, "I'm here. I see your physical and spiritual disease. I'm here to help."

The big question for all us spiritual lepers is: will we let him help us? Will we let Him grab hold of us?

Watch 7 minutes. It is worth it. You are in trouble. He can help.

We all do a pretty good job at loving ourselves. The Lord runs with that idea. He wants us to actually use the love we have for ourselves to set a baseline as to how much love we are to have for those around us. Self-love can be helpful in quantifying non-self-love.

Join me as we remember some of the treasures that make up the Sermon on the mount. All of them are worth remembering...if you love yourself. ;-)

You are invited to hear of

• your VALUE to God
• the "direct-ability" of your heart
• the courage of being a self-judger rather than an other-judger
• who you really sit in judgment over
• how the family of God should be asking of their Father.

Thanks for watching. May this be of particular benefit to you.

Join me for a run-thru of the essentials of the Lord's Prayer. There is enough truth there for a lifetime, but 7 minutes of attention is a good start.

You'll learn:

1. how God wishes to be addressed
2. What are His 3 big concerns
3. What are Our 3 big concerns
4. Why we pray a part of "the Lord's Prayer" today that isn't actually in the Lord's Prayer!

It is so great to have you here watching and listening. Please Subscribe and like and comment.

People are liars. The Sermon on the Mount, words directly from Jesus, ask us to live counter-culturally. Just speak the truth.

Next. What should I do when wronged by an evil person. Leave room for the wrath of God and the punishment of government. Meantime, even ask for grace and mercy toward that person. Why? Because that is the way that God treated the likes of you and me.

Finally, when doing some nice thing, leave room for God to sound the trumpet. We get this wrong frequently, so be careful here.

We'll remember two stories today to warn us not to wreck our lives on the twin towers of anger and lust.

We'll listen to Mrs. Potato Head and Rafe, the white-water rafting guide. They will highlight our lesson from the Sermon on the mount. Both are worth listening to.

Join me for 6 minutes as we glean all we can from these two.

If I could just remember ONE THING from the sermon on the mount! Well here are three candidates:

1. Mercy: Find somebody who deserves a fistful of JUSTICE and extend a fistful of MERCY instead. It will change the world.
2. Pure: Being pure is to be unencumbered and READY FOR SERVICE. Gear up. Let's go!
3. Peacemaking: Ironically, our peace with God is made in the most violent of ways: the Cross. There should be a PEACE DIVIDEND that is seen and demonstrable in your life so you can give voice, and legs to the Peace youhave within you.

Mercy. Purity. Peace. Pick one. Then Follow on YouTube by subscribing.
