In this video, we explore the idea that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law, as outlined in Matthew 5:17-20. The Law serves to point out the problem of sin and the need for a Savior. Jesus fulfilled the Law by living a sinless life and becoming the ultimate sacrifice for our sins. As followers of Christ, the Law leads us to holiness. It shows us what is right and wrong and guides us in our pursuit of righteousness. This message challenges us to reflect on our own lives and consider where we may be lacking in holiness. What areas of our lives do we need to repent of and ask God for forgiveness? How can we continue to grow in our pursuit of holiness? Join us in exploring these questions and learning more about how Jesus is the fulfillment of the Law. Let's strive to live in a way that honors God and reflects His holiness to the world around us.

Join us for a compelling sermon based on Matthew 7:12-14, where we explore the depth and significance of the highest moral teaching - the Golden Rule. Whether we grew up in the church or not, we've likely encountered various rules in life, but today, we discover the best way to live. In this thought-provoking message, we examine the Iron Rule of "Might makes right," the Wooden Rule of "Do unto others what they do to you," and the Silver Rule of "Don't do to others what you would not have them do to you."

As we explore the profound commitment of the Golden Rule, we are reminded of our dedication to King Jesus. This powerful teaching spurs us to action and propels us into a life of compassion, empathy, and selflessness.
