Matthew 5:21-26 Bible Study

In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus begins His series of six authoritative expansions of the Law. He starts with the commandment, “You shall not murder.” While the Law addressed the outward act, Jesus exposes the deeper issue: the heart. Anger, contempt, and demeaning speech are revealed as the seeds of murder—evidence that sin begins long before any physical action. Jesus teaches that such internal hostility places a person under divine judgment just as surely as the outward act itself.

Sola Fide: Faith Alone

Sola Fide teaches we’re justified by faith alone in Christ’s righteousness. Protestants hold to imputed righteousness; Catholics, per Trent, teach infused grace through baptism, works, and sacraments. Christ alone is our righteousness.

Matthew 17-20 Bible Study

Jesus teaches that God’s law still matters, but true righteousness is more than outward obedience. Unlike the religious leaders who focused on external rule-keeping, Jesus calls His followers to a deeper, heart-level obedience—one shaped by genuine faith, humility, and a desire to honor God in every area of life.”

Armor & Altar Revealed

Armor & Altar — “Sufficient in Jesus.” This ministry exists to boldly share the Gospel while walking in humility before the Lord. We put on the Armor of God daily, standing firm in faith as we step into the battles of life and carry the hope, joy, and truth of Jesus Christ to the world. At the same time, we return to the Altar, choosing surrender over self, seeking God’s direction, and serving His purpose with willing hearts. Our mission is to reach all people with the love of Christ — without barriers, without labels, and without making anyone feel excluded or overlooked. We believe the Gospel is for everyone, and we strive to reflect that in everything we do. As the Lord leads, we will continue to grow, serve, and pour into others, trusting Him to guide every step of this ministry.
