In Matthew 5:27–30, Jesus continues His Sermon on the Mount by saying, “You have heard that it was said… but I say to you…” Jesus takes the command against adultery and moves beneath the outward action to the inward desire. He shows that sin begins before it becomes visible.
This message framed the Sermon on the Mount around Kingdom Formation. The Beatitudes show us the destination: the person Jesus is forming. The repeated phrase, “You have heard… but I say…” gives us the roadmap: the process Jesus is using. And the teaching on adultery reveals the battleground: the heart Jesus is transforming.
Jesus is not merely trying to restrain behavior. He is after the heart. Lust is not simply a body issue; it is a worship issue. It reveals what we are looking to for satisfaction apart from Christ.
But Jesus does not only expose the heart. He transforms it. The Gospel is not just pardon from the past; it is power for the present. Through the Holy Spirit, believers are empowered to wage war against sin and feed devotion to Christ.

Have you ever tried to change something in your life by simply trying harder? Maybe you made new rules, set new boundaries, or promised yourself you would do better next time. Those things can be helpful, but Jesus shows us that real change has to go deeper than behavior.
This Sunday, we continue our series through the Sermon on the Mount by looking at Matthew 5:27–30, where Jesus says, “You have heard that it was said… but I say to you…” In this passage, Jesus takes the command against adultery and moves beneath the outward action to the heart beneath it.
This is not just a message about lust. It is a message about formation. Jesus is not merely after better behavior; He is forming a new kind of person from the heart outward. We will see how the Beatitudes show us the destination, how Jesus’ repeated phrase gives us the roadmap, and how the teaching on adultery reveals the battleground: the heart Jesus is transforming.

We are kicking off a new series tomorrow morning on what is commonly referred to as the Sermon on the Mount. This sermon, preached by Jesus, covers three chapters in the Gospel of Matthew—chapters 5 through 7. Just like our country’s forefathers gave us the Declaration of Independence, Jesus here is making a declaration of what His kingdom will look like, lived out through us, His followers.

In the Sermon on the Mount, we find some of Jesus’s best-known and most often quoted teachings, along with many of the core truths of Christianity.

Most people spend their lives avoiding the question of death, using softer words, building industries around looking younger, pretending it's further away than it is. But the question finds everyone eventually. This week we looked at one of the most important conversations in the Bible: Jesus arriving at the tomb of his friend Lazarus, and the exchange he has with Martha in her grief. Martha had theology but no immediate hope. Jesus reframed everything with five words: I am the resurrection and the life. Not "I will bring resurrection someday." I am the source of it, right now, standing in front of you. We worked through what that means for the moment of death (immediate, conscious presence with Christ), the intermediate state (not the final destination but real and personal, what Scripture calls Paradise), and the final resurrection when Jesus returns and everything is made new. We also took on the hard question: how can a loving God send people to hell? The answer has three parts: hell is a choice not an assignment, love requires justice, and the cross is the clearest evidence of God's character. It all ends with the question Jesus asked Martha, which is the same question he asks every person: Do you believe this?
