Forgiveness :: THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 10/18/20 by Pastor Steve Shields.

Forgiveness plays a vital role in the Kingdom. Forgiveness is as vital as the air we breathe. Forgiveness releases our hearts from bondage. Forgiveness also lets us display the King.

In this podcast, Pastor Steve will lead us through how forgiveness works in the Kingdom.

Kingdom people accept the reality that people are broken and hurting people hurt people. Kingdom people feel their feelings, and do not let injury define them. Kingdom people do not harm. Kingdom people give their grievances to God.

The Lord’s Prayer :: THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 10/11/20 by Pastor Steve Shields.

The Lord’s Prayer. Have you ever stopped to think about the words as you recite The Lord’s Prayer?

Jesus gives us His guide with this prayer to show how Kingdom people pray.

Kingdom people pray not to give God new information or to impress Him.

Instead, Kingdom people pray with a balance of familiarity and reverence. Kingdom prayers show our desire for God’s will and admit our neediness. Kingdom prayers also address forgiveness and express our desire to be better.

Right Motives :: THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT

Presented at Curwensville Alliance on 10/04/20 by Pastor Steve Shields.

How can a doing a good thing be a problem?

When our motives are not in the right place, the good we do can be hypocritical, can take the glory that belongs to God, and it can deny God the opportunity to reward us.

In this podcast, Pastor Steve will lead us through Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:1-6. When we go through these verses, we see there are three areas where kingdom people need to be on our guard. Prayer done in public, talking about our spiritual life and showing off our sacrifices.

Does that mean we don’t do good things? No, but kingdom people do good carefully. We should examine our heart before God, and spend time alone with God. When we do these things the good we do brings glory to God!
