Back to the Basics Pt. 3 | Salt, Light & Heart Issues

Tonight we continue in Matthew 5 as Jesus takes us deeper into what true righteousness looks like. In the Sermon on the Mount, Christ challenges believers to move beyond outward appearances and examine the deeper condition of the heart. Jesus warns about losing our spiritual influence, carrying unresolved anger, entertaining lust, and neglecting reconciliation. This study reminds us that Kingdom living is not just about behavior—it’s about a transformed heart that reflects Christ. 📌 Matthew 5:10–12 — Blessed are those persecuted for righteousness 📌 2 Timothy 3:10–12 — Godly living brings opposition 📌 Matthew 10:24–25 / John 15:18–20 — The world hated Christ first 📌 Matthew 5:13 — Have you lost your flavor? 📌 Luke 14:34–35 — Salt that loses its effectiveness 📌 Matthew 5:14–16 — Be light in a dark world 📌 Ephesians 5:8–10 — Walk as children of light 📌 Matthew 5:17–20 — God is concerned about the heart, not just behavior 📌 Matthew 5:22 — The danger of unresolved anger 📌 James 1:19–20 / Proverbs 29:11 / Proverbs 29:22 — Anger and its consequences 📌 Matthew 5:25–26 — Make things right quickly 📌 Matthew 5:27–30 — The danger of lust 📌 James 1:12–15 — Temptation, desire, and sin 📌 Matthew 5:31–32 / Matthew 19:8–11 / 1 Corinthians 7:10–11 — Marriage, commitment, and God’s design Jesus teaches that true holiness begins internally before it is ever seen externally.
