Truth and Humility

Apr 19, 2020 • Zeb Cook

God wants his sons and daughters to be full of truth and grace. We must seek to be people who speak the truth to others, recognizing that everything we say is witnessed by God and everything we say should be true and good. Jesus encourages His readers to not retaliate against evil with violent aggression, to turn the other cheek if someone slaps you, to abound in grace all the more when demands abound, to be willing to go the extra mile, and to be ready to help those in time of need.

Matthew 5: 33-42

I. As Jesus People, We Should Be Marked By Truth (33-37)

a. “Jesus said that anything less than yes and no meaning yes and no is from the evil one. Think about the implications of that. If you cannot be trusted with your yes and no, you are displaying the acts of Satan. That’s heavy!” – Matthew McCraw

b. Matthew 12:34
c. Matthew 12:36

II. As Jesus People, We Should Be Marked By Humility (38-42)

a. Romans 12:17-21
b. Matthew 20:28

Application:

1. Make a commitment to be a person of truth.
2. With a heart of humility, show Christlike kindness to someone this week.
