Summary
In this episode, we walk verse by verse through Matthew 5:27-48, where Jesus confronts lust, divorce, integrity, retaliation, and loving your enemies. This teaching unpacks what Jesus meant when He said righteousness begins in the heart, not just behavior. Discover how Christ calls believers to a deeper transformation, exposing hidden sin, redefining love, and inviting us into a life that looks impossible without grace. This episode is for anyone wrestling with obedience, holiness, and what it truly means to follow Jesus in a broken world.
