Seems a good one to recite for sure. Do teachers pastors, preachers, priests, then have reason or justification to make up their own "laws" expansions andapplications today using Christ's expansion of the commands given Moses as their basis for rules of congregates to follow?  When I state expansion I am thinking  of the  You have heard it said.... But I say  also..... portions of our Lord's talk  at the Mount. If my Lord's talk at the Mount is indeed a sermon, I don't think I have heard another from any pastor preacher priest in my lifetime that is anything like it. Is the sermon on the mount what readers/members here think of when they hear of a  sermon, or a worship service with a sermon?  I am simply asking, not challenging. I am seeking an understanding of what goes through minds when stimulated by the word sermon.

If its sermons you  want without gimmicks, that seek to explore and apply scripture you can try the following, they all have free online audio recordings. Dr Martyn Lloyd Jones of Westminster Chapel London,   John Stott of All Souls Langham Plac3 Longon, and Dick Lucy's of St Helens Bishopsgate London  They are English so their accents can be strange and the Doctor is very logical but very worth  listening to.

Just asking. Have you, VA or any others reading heard sermons just on the Lord Himself - His character, His Names, His Titles. Like the devotional said, Focus on Christ. Yet how many talks and discussions do we have actually on Christ?

. . . and Paul communicated things that were to be held to, and things that weren't. 2Th 2:15 KJV Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which you have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle. 2Th 2:15 CEV My friends, that's why you must remain faithful and follow closely what we taught you in person and by our letters.

2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. As soon as we were translated into the Kingdom of Light, we entered a spiritual war — and we must realize the warfare we face on a day-to-day basis.  Constantly contending in our minds, we battle over thoughts and emotions which flow through them. The enemy often attacks by bringing up issues from our past. Failures, regrets, wounds, and traumas all have the potential to drag us down into doubt, darkness and despair. Our tremendous challenge is not to respond to these memories with old destructive thought patterns. Our victory lies in responding to these thoughts and feelings with the mind of Messiah as new creations in Him. While we don’t necessarily ignore thoughts and feelings from the past, it is vital that we don’t allow them to control our souls and emotions, but that we take them captive through prayers and declarations inspired by our spiritual mind. For example, is the enemy speaking rejection to me causing me to feel unwanted and unloved? I will respond that I am ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED and that the Lord has shown His love to me in many ways by His spirit and through His Body. A powerful illustration from the Old Testament is the Lord’s forbidding the levitical priests from entering His Presence if they had touched any dead thing. This is a lesson for us – leave the old, dead mindset behind, the ways that you used to respond to things in the past – instead, enter the Holy of Holies and commune with your Lord! The battle over past issues is won when the Mind of Messiah in us takes authority over their meaning, purpose and definition in our lives With Yeshua (Jesus) on the throne of our hearts and minds, everything in our past is brought under His authority and works together for our good! Make it a point to take every thought captive … and in doing so, you’ll be living out what it truly means to walk in VICTORY! Never miss a devotion again!
