Living a Legacy

There is a direct relationship between how we handle our resources and our true spirituality. In this message, Crawford explains what Jesus means when He says that we’re to go beyond the performance of the scribes and Pharisees. It’s as if Jesus is saying here, “Look, I need to tell you something.” “How you handle your resources and how you handle what God places in your heart is an indication of how close you are to my heart.”Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew 6:1-18 I Part 2 of “Don’t Show Off.” The message of these 18 verses is simply this: Don't show off. Don't use spiritual disciplines to promote yourself. In this passage, Jesus is not necessarily talking about running from recognition, but he does say it’s wrong to do something for the recognition.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Matthew 6:1-18 I The message of these 18 verses is simply this: Don't show off. Don't use spiritual disciplines to promote yourself. Are you blowing your trumpet a little bit too much? Do you really want everybody to know how spiritually mature you are?  Jesus is not necessarily talking about running from recognition. It’s wrong when you do something for the recognition.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Crawford Loritts shares the second part of his message, “An Uncommon Love.”  There’s nothing easy about loving our enemies.  Crawford reminds us it is only done through the power of the Holy Spirit within us.  It’s another great lesson Jesus taught his disciples in the Sermon on the Mount and it’s one for us to learn as well.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Crawford Loritts explains how to take the godly approach when loving our enemies. It all begins with reflecting God’s unconditional love when facing ridicule and mistreatment.  Be ready to turn in your Bible to Matthew 5:43-48.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Crawford is leading us through a series of messages called, “For His Kingdom”… it’s a study in the NT book of Matthew. In a few moments, we’ll hear the rest of the message Crawford began last week about retaliation. The scribes and  Pharisees  of Jesus day were known to pull this on occasion in order to maintain their perverted desire to manipulate people while appearing to be righteous. But before we get to the rest of the message let’s check in with Crawford real quick here. We’re in Matthew 5: 38 thru 42.  Crawford, we’re seeing how Jesus has been outlining several ways in which the Scribes and Pharisees come up short in their religious posturing.  Here’s Crawford speaking to the congregation of Fellowship Bible Church in Roswell, GA.  Part 2 of his message titled, A Good Fight here on Living a Legacy.          Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Crawford Loritts looks at Jesus teaching about retaliating against those who do wrong to us. As Americans we’re quick to threaten legal action, to demean, to retaliate with angry speech on social media. The question for followers of Christ though is do we want to be right or do we want to be Kingdom people and relinquish our rights for the cause of Christ?Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Part 2 of “Is Your Word Enough?” Dr. Crawford Loritts warns that when it comes to God’s agenda, some things are not ours to promise.  Don’t use the authority of God’s name to rubber stamp things you want to see accomplished.  Let the integrity of your life validate the decisions you make.  Let your “yes” mean yes and your “no” mean no.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Crawford Loritts provides another one of Jesus Christ’s illustrations to His followers indicating how the Scribes and Pharisees portray a false righteousness through their use of oaths and how they wrongly use God’s name. In Part 1 of “Is Your Word Enough?”, Crawford reminds us that our word should be true and trustworthy.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/livingalegacySee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
