When we see the words "Thou Shalt Not Murder," most of us immediately pass right by it. 🛑👇
We think, "Well, I’ve never killed anyone, so I’m totally good on this one." We relegate murder to a distant news headline, an old-west history book, or true crime documentaries. We check the box and assume our hands are clean.
But when Jesus took the pulpit in Matthew 5, He completely shifted the playbook on this commandment.
He looked at the crowd and basically said: *You have heard it said that you shall not murder, but I tell you that if you harbor deep bitterness, nursing anger, or look at someone with utter hatred in your heart, you have already broken it.*
Suddenly, the playing field is leveled.
Murder isn't just a physical action; it starts as a spiritual posture. It is a slow leak in our hearts where we strip away a person's dignity, let resentment run wild, or completely lose our reverence for the sacred life God created. Under that definition, if we are being completely honest, every single one of us has broken this standard in our thoughts.
But here is the play-call we want you to hear: **If your heart has been heavy with anger, bitterness, or broken relationships lately, you are still welcome here.**
365 Church isn't a locker room for perfect players who execute a flawless game plan every single day. We are a greenhouse for the broken. We gather to drop our heavy masks, face our real inner struggles, and learn together how to let God heal our hearts from the inside out.
Pull up a chair with us this Sunday morning. Leave the performance behind and let's find a better way forward together.
