What does it mean to father like God the Father fathers?
Pentecost was the day the church was born. The presence of God is on earth living in His people. Little temples to go. Religion to go. The Gospel of Jesus is the only true religion and the church is how it works in the world. Religion=How people get closer to God.

Don’t do things hoping that people will notice how awesome you are. Jesus wants to protect us from the soul-rotting cancer of making a prideful show of how spiritual we are.

Jesus wants us to be a new kind of humanity—bringers of light and hope by loving people that we would naturally not love. To be supernatural. To be perfect. It’s kinda the whole point of everything. Pastor Frank continues his series on the Teaching of Jesus, continuing in the Sermon on the Mount.
it’s not about just knowing the right things, or believing the right things. Faithfulness flows from faith—wisdom is faith in action.

You want to follow Jesus? Okay, Jesus calls His disciples to reckless generosity and an almost naive selflessness—to be prepared to let people take advantage of you. It’s impossible to live life unless this is your standard. It’s the only way life works.

Jesus wants us to be people who keep the vows we make. To live in the truth and let our yes be yes and our no be no. If we, the people of God, can’t show each other that we mean what we say, then when we proclaim His promises—they’re gonna sound pretty hollow. We need to show this world, all the people who need hope, that God’s promises are true. That’s why it’s so important for us to follow through on the things we say—because it’s a testimony to the promises that God has given to us.

Easter is the day the happy ending was invented. With the resurrection came the Gospel and the concept of “happily ever after.” Easter is the start of something brand new. Jesus is the only hope we have of a happy ending, of a new life—of meaning.

What are your biggest disappointments? The difference between whether you’re gonna be disappointed or not depends on if what you’re hoping for is true or not. Are you building up your hopes to be disappointed in God? Matthew 21:1-11

The one where Pastor Frank talks about divorce and gender dysphoria from the perspective of what Jesus had to say about it. We're pretty convinced God might be the most reliable source of information on even these subjects.

America’s favorite pastime—it’s not baseball, or football, or Nascar. It’s not movies or TV or music. It seems to be porn. Jesus says if you look at a person with lust then you have already committed adultery in your heart. The 6th Commandment. God doesn’t tell us what to do and what not to do to make us miserable—He’s protecting us from ourselves.

Anger’s a really important emotion. We’re not supposed to ignore it, but we’re also not supposed to let it control us. We're to be Slow to speak. Quick to listen. Slow to anger. The anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Anger needs to point us in the direction of resolving conflict, not escalating it, not ignoring it. Jesus says trying to harm people with words is as bad as murder. Matthew 5:21-26
So how does Jesus relate to the Old Testament? And what about us? Now that we have the New Testament, what are we supposed to think about it? God didn’t send Jesus into the world so we wouldn’t do what He wants. He sent Jesus into the world so it would be possible for us to do the right things for the right reasons. God still wants us to live good lives, do good things, live holy lives. Matthew 5:17-20

We all want to change the world but we don’t want to change. Jesus says you are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. You know all those things you think are wrong with the world? Draw a circle around your feet and start making those changes inside the circle. Let your good works shine to lead people through the darkness—so that they will praise your heavenly Father. To salt the earth—live the extraordinary lives of normal people, uncorrupted by all the impurities of the world. You've got to be the difference you want to see in the world.

This is who you are now—this is who you’re gonna be.
Jesus takes an interesting turn on the last Beatitude—in the previous eight blessings He said “Blessed are the poor, the meek, the pure in heart—for THEY shall see God, THEY shall be called the sons of God, for THEIRS is the kingdom of heaven. They. Theirs.
The ninth Beatitude is different—This just got personal.
Kemper Crabb performs "A Malediction" after the sermon.

The Beatitudes are the doorway to understanding Jesus’ teaching. If we get them wrong, we get everything wrong. It’s a question of how we see the world: Are we trying to do something so God will bless us? Or are we responding to God’s blessing in how we live our lives?
Matthew 5:1-12

Romans 12:1-2 The world wants to conform you to itself. It never sleeps. Never rests. Every moment of your life, whether you’re awake or dreaming, the world is trying to bend you, twist you and distort you into something unholy. Ungodly. Something ugly. May God give us the courage to resist the world and truly do His will as we are transformed and renewed into the people He has called us to be.

Our job is to eat and drink with sinners like us. Not only so they can come to know the hope that we’ve found in Jesus—but also because it’s part of how God is changing us into the people Jesus is calling us to be. We’re not gonna become the people God wants us to be in isolation—we gotta do this in community.

We can’t survive without something to believe in. We can’t live without hope, and we can’t create our own meaning, our own thing to hope in, to live for—our hope can’t be in something that can be taken away. Psalm 90
