In this powerful sermon from Matthew 5:33–48, Pastor Pat Sieler teaches what Jesus said about true character. Character isn’t about reputation or personality—it’s who you really are when no one’s watching. Jesus challenges us to live with integrity by keeping our word, controlling our anger, and showing love even to our enemies. From being honest in everyday promises to going the extra mile and loving those who wrong us, this message reminds us that real Christlike character flows from a heart transformed by God’s Spirit.

Key points:

Keep Your Word – Let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no.

Keep Your Cool – Don’t retaliate; rise above insult and injury.

Keep Your Love – Love, bless, and pray for your enemies.

In this powerful message, Pastor Pat Sieler unpacks Jesus’ teaching on divorce from Matthew 5:31–32 and Matthew 19. Marriage began in the heart of God—it’s a divine covenant meant to last a lifetime. Yet, because of human sin and the hardness of our hearts, God allowed divorce in limited cases: adultery and abandonment.

This sermon explores the biblical foundation of marriage, the pain and reality of divorce, and the hope of restoration through God’s grace. Whether you’re married, divorced, or single, this message reminds us that God is a God of forgiveness, healing, and new beginnings.

Key Points:

Marriage is God’s design and covenant, not just a contract.

Divorce was never God’s plan but is allowed for adultery or abandonment.

Reconciliation should always be the goal when possible.

Divorce is not the unpardonable sin—God restores and redeems broken lives.

In this powerful message from Matthew 5:21–30, Pastor Pat Sieler unpacks Jesus’ teaching on anger and lust, revealing how the Lord raises the standard from external obedience to internal transformation. Jesus equates anger with murder and lust with adultery—showing that sin begins in the heart. The sermon challenges believers to seek reconciliation quickly, walk in forgiveness, and rely on God’s Word and the Holy Spirit to overcome destructive emotions and desires. Victory over anger and lust comes not through willpower, but through Christ living within us. Through prayer, Scripture, and accountability, we can experience true freedom and purity of heart.
