Celebrating the Dignity of Relationships - Jesus and the Golden Rule
October 25, 2009
Pastor Hal
Matthew 7.7-12
Sermon on the Mount
Sermon Notes
1. Jesus calls us to live with dependence and openness (7).
2. Jesus calls us to ecperience the results of living a dependent/open life (8).
3. Fathers illustrate this truth with their children (9, 10)
4. Our Father in heaven loves us infinitely more, and He will provide for His children if we ask Him (11).
5. How much do we value each other? This is the life of humility that God calls us to live, and the Scriptures spoke of it all along (12).
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19.18; Matthew 22. 39)
Will we live this way? Are we open, dependent, and humble in our relationships? Do we treat others as we want to be treated?
