Matthew 6:11-13

Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
11Give us today our daily bread. 12Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.


Jesus continues to teach on prayer. By asking God for "our daily bread" we are not begging. We are realizing that all comes through God. Anything we are or will be is by God. We also ask for forgiveness, but Jesus stipulates that we should be forgiven AS we forgive. That puts the responsibility on us.
God does not lead us into temptation. He will allow Satan (the evil one) to tempt us from time to time. We are asking to be delivered from this. All Christians are tempted, all people are tempted. How we act on these temptations is where we need God’s help and strength. With God’s help, there is nothing we can not overcome. Without God, we can do very little.
Prayer- Lord, give us strength to forgive and strength to deal with Satan. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
Viva Jesus!

Matthew 6:9-10

Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
9"This, then, is how you should pray: " 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.


Do these words sound familiar? I hope so. Jesus is telling the congregation, (both those on the hill and us by the computer,) how to pray. We start with a greeting, like you should start most conversations. Instead of going "what’s up?" we use "our Father in heaven."
We are asking God to bless us. "Your kingdom come" literally means we want his spiritual reign to be here on earth. "Your will be done" is not us laying down and giving up, it is asking God to do his will through us, (not just in spite of us.) We are asking that our actions be God’s actions. Pretty cool isn’t it?
Do you say the Lords prayer? Do you pray it?, or just recite it? Next time you read this prayer, think about what we are asking for.
Prayer- Lord, Help us do your will. Let Your will truly be our will. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
Viva Jesus!

Matthew 6:5-8

Relax, Read and Reflect.
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
Prayer
5"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.
Prayer is communication with God-your Father. I have also heard lately that prayer is communion with God. Okay, I am fine with that definition as well. Either way, you would not want to have communion or communication with your earthly father by going to the corner and making the exchange a Shakespearean recital. For good communication, we go to a private and quite area. Sometimes we do so surrounded by family and friends, so sometimes it is fine to pray with friends and family. Prayer is not a show, so Jesus wants us to remember that. That may not seem very revolutionary, but the people of his day needed to know this. How about us today? Do we need this reminder?
Prayer- Lord, We want and desire real prayer, real communication, real communion. Thank you for listening and participating. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
Viva Jesus!

Matthew 6:1-4

Relax, Read and Reflect.
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
1"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
2"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 3But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, 4so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
Jesus teaches how to give to the needy. You would think this lesson would not need a title. Who would think there is a bad way? Not really a bad way, just not the Jesus way.
Do you think Jesus and God need to be told when we do good deeds? Not really, they know the deeds before they are done. So who are we trying to impress? Our friend? (That was a typo, making it singular, but I think I will leave it.) The needy? Perhaps, but usually they just want the help, not the fanfare. After all, the fanfare draws attention to the fact they need help. So we must be doing this to impress ourselves, for me that is easy.
When you make a fuss about the good you do, and you get praise, that is our reward. Shouldn’t we be looking for a greater reward than fleeting praise? Jesus thinks so. He tells us our motives must be pure. Why do you give?
Prayer- Lord, Help us do your work, but remind us that we need to do because we love you, not for praise for ourselves. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
Viva Jesus!

Matthew 5:43-48

Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor[

] and hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies[b] and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
This is an offensive statement to many people today. Our enemies are trying to kill us, or worse, trying to spread a different religion in the world. How can we love our enemies and still stay in control of the world?
The last part of these verses are very strong. If we only love our friends, how are we different from our enemies? How can we convince ourselves we are better if we act the same? Jesus wants us to be perfect. Wow! How are we supposed to be perfect? There has only been one perfect person and humanity killed him.
Jesus understands us, after all, He was a person. We are to be perfect in as much as our maturity level demands. If we are children, perfection is easier than if we know how to act. Here is the rub- now you know.
Prayer- Lord, Help us love our enemies. Help us strive for the perfection your love demands. It will only be with Your help that we could ever act that way. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
Viva Jesus!

Matthew 5:38-42

Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
An Eye for an Eye
38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'[
a] 39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
"Don’t get mad-Get even!" How many times have we heard this or something similar? God’s law in Leviticus 24:19 was to insure mercy. It was designed to make the punishment fit the crime. Somehow, it lost it’s meaning. Instead of promoting mercy it promoted vengeance.
If we are wronged, Jesus tells us to do good to those who wrong us. We should not keep score on who did what to us, we should love them. This is not easy to do, it is not natural. It is supernatural, it is radical, it is revolutionary. Isn’t this what Jesus calls us to be?
Prayer- Lord, Help us to forgive. Help us to show your love and mercy. Let’s face it, it is only through Your example and help that we could ever turn the other cheek. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:33-37

Relax, Read and Reflect.
Prayer- lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
33"Again, you have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not break your oath, but keep the oaths you have made to the Lord.' 34But I tell you, Do not swear at all: either by heaven, for it is God's throne; 35or by the earth, for it is his footstool; or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the Great King. 36And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. 37Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
Oaths were very common in Jesus’s day. Jesus is telling the people not to take oaths. Why? It’s simple. If you are a Godly person, your word should be good enough. One should not have to swear to make people believe you are telling the truth.
Let’s think about this. Is your word good enough? Does your "yes" mean yes? If not, how can we make changes to restore our reputation with out having to swear on "a stack of Bibles this high."
Prayer- Lord, Help us live a life where people know we are honest by our deeds, not our oaths. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:31-32

Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer-Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
31"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[

] 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.
Marriage is the ultimate commitment we can give to one another, therefore should not be entered into lightly. Once we make this commitment, this bond should never be broken. Jesus wants us to be true to our commitments. Even is Jesus’s day, marriage was OK until someone new or better came along. Then the marriage could be broken for lustful purposes. We know how Jesus feels about lust, so it goes to reason he does not accept divorce.
Jesus lists marital unfaithfulness as the only reason for divorce, so that means adultery-right? No, not necessarily. Jesus is using unfaithfulness as any immoral lifestyle, and that is big! If a partner acts immorally, they aren’t honoring their spouse. This can mean all sorts of mental and physical abuse. If your partner is being immoral. Do ALL you can to help. But if they do not accept your help, divorce may be the only recourse. However, always look for ways to restore before looking for excuses to dissolve.
(P.S. This is from a man who has suffered through divorce. It is never fun or good, but sometimes it is the least painful way to continue to live. If you are in a marriage that is coming between you and a relationship with Christ, divorce may be your only option.)
Prayer- Lord, Help us to look to you as we seek our partners. Be with us as we make our families and help me to build my marriage every day. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:27-30

Read, Relax and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
27"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'[

] 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell
So..What about lust? This may be one of the ways Jesus clarified the law that confused the most people, (up to this point.) Exodus 20:13 clearly states "Do not commit adultery." So what is adultery? That depends on what your definition of "is" is. Things can be confusing.
Not any more! Your mind controls your body. If you lust-you sin. This makes it easy because it is straight forward. If part of you can not be controlled by you, get rid of it. Go back to the second sentence in this paragraph, your mind controls your body. This means that you literally do not have to mutilate yourself.
However, the body whole will be held accountable. This is teaching about both the physical body and the church. Pretty cool.
Prayer- Lord, help us keep our bodies in check, both physical and spritual.Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:25-26

Read, Relax and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
25"Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 26I tell you the truth, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.[
Sometimes we forget that when people are taken to court by others, this is not a sign of love. Today we sue everyone so this seems a little trivial, this is a common practice. In Christ’s time you went to court to settle big things, and you played for keeps. This goes with anger that Christ taught in earlier verses. What we forget today is the same that people forgot then. Once we get to this stage, we have stopped trusting in God and started to trust in the law. Sometimes it works out, sometimes we loose-big!!!
If you want to live a happy life, don’t squabble with your neighbors, afterall, is it really worth it?
Prayer- Lord, help us get along. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:23-24

Relax, Read and Reflect.
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
23"Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
Anger is a powerful feeling. Anger can be very destructive to the body and soul, and of course Christ knows this. Yesterdays verses said that even if we just feel the anger and don’t act on it, we are still held accountable for the sixth commandment of Moses.
Jesus gets a little deeper. If you have anger in your heart with another, that anger will come between you and God. If you want to have a relationship with your Father, clear up bad feelings with your brother. That is so revolutionary, but so simple.
Prayer- Lord, Help us all love one another. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:21-22

Relax, Read and Reflect.
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
21"You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder,[

] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' 22But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother[b]will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,[c]' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
Is Christ adding to the Jewish law?, or is he just giving it his own twist. Actually, he was doing neither. He is giving us an explanation of why God gave us this law to begin with.
Most of us understand that we should not murder. Few of us have the aspirations to be a mafia hitman, so this seems pretty easy. What Jesus is telling us is that we should not get so angry that we would want to kill, and that is totally different. (By the way, Raca is an arabic term of contempt, like SOB.)
Jesus is telling us that if we get so angry that we loose our cool, we are just as guilty as one who commits murder. Ouch! This means I may never go to another basketball game again. Maybe, instead of avoiding things I actually enjoy I should learn to behave in a Christ-like fashion. That is revolutionary!
Prayer- Lord, help us control our anger. Let us look at God’s laws not just what they say, but what that intend. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus teaches us to obey. This is very important. God has a plan. If we do not obey and are not righteous we will miss the plan. An important part of being a revolutionary for Jesus is to remember that we are striving to influence others. Our live are models, models of Christ’s love. It is important to remember this, and remember that we are leaders. As such, we should always be mindful which way we are leading!
Prayer- Lord, Give us Your instructions so that we can become a generation of leaders for You. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
17"Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.
What is the Law? Why should law be scared of the Truth? We are now revolutionaries, like Jesus. Many in the crowd think we are here to break the law, or to establish a new set of laws. Isn’t that what revolutionaries do?
No, we are here to fulfill laws, fulfill what is right. We are not revolting against laws, we are revolting against the ignoring of God’s law. Laws are good, and God sent us laws to help us live. Now we are fulfilling these laws.
Prayer- Lord, Help us obey our laws and strive to do what is right. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:14-16

Relax, Read and Reflect.
Prayer- Lord, open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
14"You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.
"This little light of mine, I’m going to let it shine." Jesus shines through us, his love is shown by our thoughts and our words. Again, consider Jesus’s times. No electricity, no batteries, and few windows, (if any) in their homes. Lamps were their only form of light. If they wanted to do anything inside or at night, they used lamps. So, it would be insane to hide the lamp.
If we are the way the world is exposed to Jesus, why would we hide? That would be crazy. We can not be quiet when we know the truth, we can not go along with the crowd when we know they are wrong. If we ignore others we are not shining, we are hiding the love of Christ, and that is crazy. Be radical- let your light shine.
Prayer- Lord, Help us be a beacon of light in today’s dark world. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:13

Relax, Read and Reflect.
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
13"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.
Let’s put in prospective. In Jesus’s time salt was a very valuable and important commodity. It was not just a seasoning, but it was the preservative, and was even used as medicine. Without salt, people could not survive. If salt loses it’s saltiness, it can not get it back, then it is worthless.
Is Jesus saying we are worthless if we loss our faith? No, what he is saying is the our faith is what makes us different than other people. If we loose our faith, we are no different than the rest of the world. Jesus says we should not be like the rest of the world, we should not just "blend." We are special, and like salt have the ability to positively affect our world.
Here is the good news, because Jesus has faith in us, we will never be without faith. We do, however, need to use this faith to change the world. When people set out to change the world, they do things in a different way. If your friends say that you are being different, and are starting not to be one of them, congratulations. You are becoming salty, and salty people affect the world positively.
Prayer- Lord, help us all remain the salt of the earth. Use us to season, to preserve and to heal. It is because of you and through you that we do these things. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
Hold on here, is Jesus saying we should want to be persecuted? That’s....revolutionary! I think I used to date a girl that really wanted to be blessed.
Yes, Jesus is saying that we should rejoice to be persecuted BECAUSE OF HIM! If we are being talked about and shunned because we walk with Christ, we should be happy.
But why would we ever want to be persecuted, persecution hurts. Try to remember, what is it that we really want-earthly rewards or heavenly rewards. If we want our gifts to be those in heaven, we need to keep our eyes on that prize. Remember, no pain-no gain! The more we have to work to keep our faith, the more we exercise our faith, and the stronger it becomes. Make since?
The fact we are being picked on because of our faith in Christ means that people are noticing, and that shows your life is being an example. If it did not worry others, they would not care. If you do not worry Satan, he won’t care. If you are being persecuted because of Christ, it is not by God. Therefore; you are being successful. Besides: "Sticks and stones can break my bones but words will never hurt me." Unless people are throwing rocks, don’t worry.
Prayer, Lord Help me remember when I am being insulted or persecuted that I should rejoice. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:8-10

Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. 10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Jesus continues to teach a radical message. The Jewish crowd of the day thought that heaven is reached by political power and authority given by the priests. Jesus tells the crowd that heaven is near, so naturally they want to know what is required. He tells them that faith in the Lord is the main ingredient, not faith in the church. Radical!
What has changed? Do we want to be pure of heart, or do we want to live a worldly life. It depends on what your goal is. Jesus says the blessing of heaven are for those who are pure of heart. And peacemakers? They are weak and will be run over by the enemy. We now believe that if we do not fight our enemies where they live we will have to fight them in our homes. Who wants to be a peacemaker?
Peacemakers are not just in international affairs. Many times people can get sideways with each other over silly things. We need wise and faithful people to step in and show us what we are angry and fighting over. People who are persecuted will be rewarded, more on that tomorrow.
Prayer- Lord, help us all to be pure and wise. Let us desire peace in our lives and our actions. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:6-7

Relax, Read and Reflect
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
What is righteousness? It is justice, wisdom, doing the right thing. How radical would it be if we thirsted, really desired to do the right thing? We basically want to do right, but if we see that others are wronged, we want to see what it will cost us if we get involved. Christ says if we have this drive and desire to do the right thing- no matter what, we will be fulfilled. He does not say when, He says it will happen. That is one of the challenges following Christ, we do not know his time line.
Do you show mercy? Do you forgive those who wrong you? I mean really do you wrong? This is tough. Guess what, man (all of us,) routinely deny Jesus, we kill him daily. Don’t you want mercy from God? Again, this is a radical idea. It doesn’t seem to fit our society, but if WE all lived this way the world would be a better world. Do not despair, heaven will be full of righteousness and mercy.
Prayer- God help us show mercy as you show mercy to us. Let us thirst do do what is right, help us follow you. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.

Matthew 5:1-5 Viva Jesus

Relax, Read and Reflect.
Prayer- Lord, Open our hearts and open our minds and help us learn. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
The Beatitudes
1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying: 3"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

The revolution begins. This is the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus starts with what are now know as the beatitudes. Beatitude means blessing, and Jesus tells the crowds there(and here,) who are to be blessed.
Look deeper at verses 3-5. They seem to be contradictory. How can depressed people inherit the kingdom of heaven? And why will the meek inherit the earth? Haven’t we all heard they the strong survive and that if you want something bad enough-you take it? I like the line "I’m glad the meek will inherit the earth, then I can take it from them. What are they going to do? They're a bunch of meeks!"
Jesus is trying to get the people to see real faith, eternal faith. Faith that goes beyond this earth. Happy are the poor in spirit on this earth, because they have great rewards. Happy are the sad, for with sadness comes comfort. Happy are the followers, for they will follow to a new and greater world. That is revolutionary!
Prayer- Lord- help us to grasp real faith, eternal faith, the faith to follow you no matter what the rest of the world may think. Go-Fight-Win. Amen.
Viva Jesus!
