Summary

“We have here an exposition of the seventh commandment, given us by the same hand that made the law, and therefore was fittest to be the interpreter of it... The command is here laid down 'Thou shalt not commit adultery;' which includes a prohibition of all other acts of uncleanness, and the desire of them: but the Pharisees, in their expositions of this command, made it to extend no further than the act of adultery, suggesting, that if the iniquity was only regarded in the heart, and went no further, God could not hear it, would not regard it, and therefore they thought it enough to be able to say that they were 'not adulterers' (Luke 18:11).” -Matthew Henry

0:00.0	Leave us a five-star review on your favorite podcast platform.
0:04.0	I get it. It's annoying. Everybody asks, but I'm going to tell you why.
0:07.7	When you give us a positive review, what that does is it triggers the algorithm so that our podcast shows up on more people's news feeds.
0:16.4	You and I both know that this ministry is willing to talk about things that most ministries aren't.
0:21.7	We need this content for the glory of God to reach more people's ears. You're doing a great job.
0:28.5	We've got several hundred reviews so far, but we like to reach a thousand reviews by the end of
0:34.0	this year, the year of our Lord 2024. If you haven't left a review yet, take a moment
0:39.6	and help us achieve our goal. Series through the gospel, according to Matthew. Our text for today
0:44.8	will be Matthew chapter 5, verse 27 through 30. Again, that's Matthew chapter 5 versus 27 through 30.
0:51.4	I'll read our text for us in its entirety. When I finish reading the text,
0:55.0	I'm going to say this is the word of the Lord, at which point I would appreciate very much
0:59.2	if you would respond by saying thanks be to God. One final time, our text for today is Matthew
1:04.2	chapter 5, verses 27 through 30. The Bible says this. You have heard that it was said. You shall not commit adultery.
1:12.7	But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed
1:17.5	adultery with her in his heart. If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out, and throw it away.
1:24.8	For it is better that you lose one of your members than your whole body be thrown
1:29.2	into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. For it is better that you
1:36.9	lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell. This is the word of the Lord.
1:47.0	All right. Please be seated. We'll go ahead and dive right in.
1:52.1	By way of introduction, I've written the following. This is really a continuation of the last three weeks now as we've been in the sermon on the Mount. That's Matthew chapter 5, 6, and 7.
1:59.2	And what Jesus is ultimately doing here is he's helping his disciples
2:04.1	and all those who are listening to this sermon for them to properly understand the law of God
