All of us are happy for laws like truth in advertising or pure food and drug laws that keep us from being deceived. Every once in a while you're reading the newspaper about some poor widow or some retired couple that was conned by one of the experts, and I'm glad when the police enforce the laws …
In Matthew 5:9, our Lord Jesus says, Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. If there's one thing that pains most of us more than anything else, it is this problem of personal disagreement. We come to God's house and we shake hands and we smile and we sing, we talk to …
We have been looking together at the Sermon on the Mount. We read today from Matthew 5:33-42. Our Lord speaks and he says, Again ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, thou shalt not perjure thyself, but thou shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths. …
We read the word of God from Matthew 5:20-26.

Reading the word of God from Matthew 5:17-20. And then I want to add to that from Philippians 3, where the Apostle Paul gives his testimony concerning his salvation. Matthew 5, our Lord speaks and says, For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes …
We open the Word of God to Matthew 16. I have a rather long portion to read. I'm going to read from Matthew 16:13 to Matthew 17:8. As you know, the chapter and verse divisions in your Bible are man-made, and sometimes they obscure, and this is one case. We're thinking tonight about the …
We read the Word of God from Mark 1:21. And they went into Capernaum, and straightway on the Sabbath day he entered into the synagogue and taught.
