  Why Disciples Don't Seek Revenge - Pastor Austin Prince

  Aug 17, 202632 min

  When someone wrongs us, our first instinct is to get even. In Matthew 5:38-42, Jesus challenges that instinct directly and calls His followers to a radically different way of living. The Law of Retaliation given in the Old Testament was never meant to fuel personal vengeance. It was designed to promote justice, fairness, and restraint. Jesus redefines righteousness by calling disciples to respond to insults, injustice, and unfair demands with undeserved grace. The antidote to retaliation is compassion, and these two things cannot coexist. Kingdom people do not seek revenge because they know who defines them, provides for them, and protects them. Retaliation is natural, but compassion is supernatural. Learn more about Cedar Crest at www.ccbchurch.org

  How Does Thinking About Heaven Change Life On Earth? - Tim Dowdy

  Aug 10, 202648 min

  Life is full of uncertainty, but Colossians 3:1-4 points us to a powerful solution: setting our minds on things above rather than on the temporary things of this earth. Because believers have been raised with Christ, their lives are hidden with Him in God, making their future completely secure. Practically, this means saturating our minds with Scripture, meditating on God's promises, dedicating ourselves to prayer, and letting the beauty of creation point our hearts toward heaven. Living with a heavenly mindset keeps us from being entangled in the world, anchors us in biblical hope, and gives us the strength to live worthy of the gospel. It also fuels a life on mission, reminding us that God has placed people in our lives who need to hear about Jesus. The uncertainties of this earth are real, but they are overwhelmed by the certainties of heaven. Learn more about Cedar Crest www.ccbchurch.org

  When Your Word Is Enough - Pastor Frank Valenzano

  Aug 3, 202630 min

  In Matthew 5, Jesus addresses oaths and vows as part of the Sermon on the Mount, calling His followers to a higher standard of honesty and integrity. The Sermon on the Mount is not a checklist for earning a place in God's family. It is a description of how those who already belong to Him should live. People in Jesus' day had developed clever systems for making promises they never intended to keep, and Jesus confronted that directly. His instruction is straightforward: let your yes mean yes and your no mean no. When we are rooted in God's Word, it shapes the way we speak and the commitments we make. The goal is not perfection but faithfulness, and faithfulness starts with integrity in the small, everyday promises of life. Learn more about Cedar Crest Baptist Church: www.ccbchurch.org

  Relationship Wreckers - Pastor Greg Clark

  Jul 27, 202640 min

  Anger, lust, and divorce are not random struggles. They are targeted attacks on the relationships God designed for our good. Jesus raised the standard in the Sermon on the Mount, making clear that the problem begins in the heart long before it shows up in behavior. Unresolved anger rots us from the inside out, lust is a perversion of God's design for intimacy, and divorce carries a weight that many people were never meant to carry alone. But no one is beyond forgiveness. Romans 8:1 reminds us there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, and God's grace is available to anyone who brings their failures honestly before Him. The power to overcome these struggles does not come from trying harder. It comes from crying out to God and relying on the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, who lives in every believer.

  What Jesus Really Said About Anger - Pastor Austin Prince

  Jul 20, 202632 min

  Anger is something most of us downplay, calling it frustration or irritation rather than what it really is. In Matthew 5, Jesus raises the standard far beyond outward behavior and goes straight to the heart. He connects anger to murder not to minimize one but to show that both begin in the same place. Every person is made in the image of God, and treating someone as worthless is an offense against their Creator. The answer Jesus gives is not self-control alone but reconciliation. Closing the gap between hurt and repair is not weakness. It is obedience, and it is the very thing that disarms the anger that takes root in our hearts. www.ccbchurch.org
