It is easy to look at our outward actions and convince ourselves that we are doing pretty well. But Jesus looks deeper.In Matthew 5:21–26, Jesus takes the command, “Thou shalt not kill,” and exposes the anger, hostility, and contempt that can exist within the heart. In this episode of The King’s Way, Scott Bratt examines what Jesus teaches about the root of murder, the importance of reconciliation, and what it looks like to submit our hearts to the rule of King Jesus.
What does biblical discipline look like in everyday life?In this Friday Focus episode, Sarah Graham joins us to talk about spiritual discipline, daily obedience, and faithfulness in every season of the Christian life.Discipline is not the goal. Christlikeness is. From making time for God’s Word to faithfully handling the ordinary responsibilities God has given us, Sarah encourages us to stay persistent, embrace the work before us, and remember that God sees our faithfulness.Whatever season you are in, keep coming back to His Word and simply obey today.
What kind of righteousness does God require?In Matthew 5:17–20, Jesus makes it clear that He did not come to destroy the Law and the Prophets, but to fulfill them. The standard He gives is impossible to meet through our own effort. We need a righteousness greater than our own.In this episode of The King’s Way, Micah Herbster explores the purpose of the Old Testament Law, how Jesus fulfills it, and why true righteousness is found only in Christ.Join us as we continue our study through the Sermon on the Mount.

Salt preserves. Light reveals. And Jesus says His people are both.In this episode of The King’s Way, Michael McIntyre continues through the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5:13-16, where Jesus calls His followers “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” These are not suggestions for what Christians might someday become. They describe what kingdom citizens already are.But what does it mean to be salt in a decaying world? What does it mean to shine as light in the darkness? Together, we’ll see that salt must stay salty, light must stay visible, and the purpose of both is the glory of our Father in heaven.As we continue this study, we pray that Christ would keep us from becoming useless through compromise, teach us not to hide the light He has given, and help us live distinctly and faithfully in the King’s way.The King has called His people salt and light. Now we must live as what He says we are.
