In this sermon, Pastor Jamie delves into the concept of righteousness as portrayed in Jesus's Sermon on the Mount, specifically focusing on Matthew 5:21-26. Righteousness is highlighted as God's good order that brings life, emphasizing its role in both creation and human relationships. The sermon emphasizes the need for a heart aligned with God's righteousness, beyond merely adhering to laws. It addresses the destructive nature of anger, contempt, and judgment, showing how they deviate from the path of righteousness and affect one’s relationship with God and others. The call to action is a movement towards reconciliation and the embracing of gospel-centered living as a means to exhibit true righteousness that exceeds mere legal adherence.
