In John's gospel, Jesus tells his disciples that everyone would know they follow him "if they love one another." Our actions and words can have power and the impact on others can be significant; for good or bad. Join Josh Raines as we journey into the seventh week in our Sermon on the Mount series with a look at what Jesus has to say about how we leverage that power and authority in our relationships with others.

Join Josh Raines as we continue to look at the countercultural call of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount by studying Matthew 6:19-34, where He asks us to evaluate what and/or who captivates our "hearts."

Join Clint Adams as we begin the Response section of our Sermon on the Mount series. In Matthew 6, Jesus calls us to examine our motives for the good things we do – specifically giving, prayer and fasting – and shows us how to gain lasting reward.

As we continue moving through our Sermon on the Mount series, we see Jesus once more addressing incorrect teachings with God's people. This time around, He singles out oaths, retaliation and loving our enemies. Join Norm Pond as he reminds us that Jesus isn't calling us to merely follow the letter of the law in these areas, but to have a complete attitude change toward others in the love of Christ.

As we continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount, we find Jesus in Matthew 5 speaking on laws and commands that were heard by the people and leaders of Israel, but not fully understood. Norm Pond explores how Jesus is looking for more than rule followers; he desires an attitude and transformation of the heart.

What did Jesus mean when he called his followers to be salt and light? As our Sermon on the Mount series continues, Pastor Sean looks at why the most hurtful words that could be said to a Christian may be "you're no different from anybody else."

What is the heart of Jesus? He has been moving in such a way here at Freshwater and we want to join Him more in what He is already doing. In our new series, "You Have Heard It Said," we will explore the Sermon on the Mount beginning with this look at our position in Christ with Pastor Sean Homan.
