Going Above and Beyond for Jesus

Still not feeling well... I finished reading the Kite Runner last night.  The plot did alarm me and made me feel horrible.  It reminds me of how ugly this world can be when we don't follow Christ and God.

We are hoping to get new members to join our small group next week... our group is now left with 3 members... need at least 3 more...

Matthew 5:17-48
Christ's Teachings
The only way to enter the Kingdom of Heaven is to obey God better than the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees (20)
We are not to curse or be angry at another.  Choose to forgive them. (21)
To have lust for another is a sin for you have committed adultery with your heart. (28)
Anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery. (32)
Give to those who ask and don't turn away from those who want to borrow. (42)
Love your enemies, not just your neighbours. (44)

In this passage, Matthew tells us to live out Moses law, but take it to a higher level... go above and beyond to please God.

Romans 4:1-12
The Faith of Abraham
This passage proclaims that Abraham was the founder of the Jewish nation and how God accepted him before his act of circumcision.
