🎙️ Sermon & Podcast Outline: The Foundation of Rectitude

Sermon Summary & Invitation 1. Sermon Summary Script (The Foundation of Rectitude) This script is designed to be read aloud or used as a brief text summary for those who missed the message. "In this message, 'The Foundation of Rectitude,' we confronted the toughest standard in the entire Bible: Jesus's teaching on the Law in Matthew 5:17-20. We learned that Jesus didn't come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it, meaning he raised the standard from external actions to internal heart motivation. The terrifying truth is this: the righteousness we need must exceed that of the Pharisees—the most outwardly religious people of their time. This impossibly high demand is designed to crush our self-righteousness and show us that rectitude is impossible without surrender. The Law is a mirror that points us to our absolute need for the perfect righteousness of Christ, which is the true foundation of our freedom. The key application is this: Stop seeking external perfection and surrender to the internal perfection already provided by grace." 2.
