Summary

What if your biggest struggle isn’t your behavior but your heart? In this message from Matthew 5, Jesus raises the bar from external rule-following to heart-level transformation. Anger, lust, divorce, retaliation, enemy love—He exposes what’s underneath it all and shows us that righteousness isn’t earned, it’s received. The gospel doesn’t shame us into trying harder; it gives us a new heart and compels us to live differently because Christ first loved us.Are you trying to justify yourself or are you resting in the justification of Jesus? 📣 Episode Mentions:• Scripture Passage: Matthew 5:21-48• Preacher: Pastor Joby Martin 📌 Supplemental Resources From This Week:• From Anger to Freedom - Dave's Story • The Gospel Changes Everything - Mountain to Mountain - Matthew S2E3 (Full Service) • Lust and Anger will Kill You - Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin: Matthew S2E3 • Matthew Season 2: Mountain to Mountain Sermon Series • Deepen with Pastor Joby Martin The Church of Eleven22® is a movement for all people to discover and deepen a relationship with Jesus Christ.

0:28.2	connect his people the Jewish audience to understand that Jesus is the greater Moses Jesus is the
