Following Jesus Into His Sermon On The Mount | Week 9 | In this sermon, Darrell visits the challenging and seemingly backwards teaching from Jesus on enemy love in Matthew 5:43-48. Darrell shows how “loving your enemies” is the only way to prevent the hatred you feel towards another from destroying you and destroying them. That it’s one of the ways God’s people safeguard their souls, and participate in the mission of Christ who was found using his dying breaths to pray for those who persecuted him.

Following Jesus Into His Sermon On The Mount | Week 8 | In this message, Darrell unpacks the often-misunderstood teaching of Jesus regarding retaliation and revenge. What does He mean when He says to “not resist the evil person”? Is Jesus calling us as His followers to passively stand by when we encounter those who wish to harm or take advantage of us? Through the text, Darrell shows us there is nothing passive about anything Jesus teaches. Instead, Jesus is inviting us to face evil the way He does, not as a passive surrender but rather an active initiative to overcome evil with good. First Baptist Church, Vancouver, BC | March 4, 2012 | Matthew 5:38-42

Following Jesus Into His Sermon On The Mount | Week 7 | In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses obviously critical issues like murder, anger, adultery, lust, marriage and remarriage. But what about when Jesus addresses his people about making oaths? How is this as big of an issue as murder or adultery? In this sermon, Darrell unpacks the problem of making oaths and why words matter to Jesus, especially words of promise. First Baptist Church, Vancouver, BC | February 26, 2012 | Matthew 5:33-37

Following Jesus Into His Sermon On The Mount | Week 6 | This sermon is a continuation of the Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew 5. Focusing on verses 27 to 30, Darrell gives insight into the call for us to follow Jesus’ radical approach in crucifying the flesh which results in a better relationship with Him and with those around us. Darrell reveals how lust relates to our deeper, more holy longings. And how in this teaching, Jesus is showing himself to be a protector of those very longings and the souls of the ones he loves. First Baptist Church, Vancouver, BC | February 12, 2012 | Matthew 5:27-30

Following Jesus Into His Sermon On The Mount | Week 5 | In this message, Darrell unpacks Matthew 5:21-26 and Jesus’ teaching on anger. In it, he follows the thread from the Old Testament command of “you shall not murder,” all the way to the deep reservoir of anger within the human heart. Showing that just as murder is displeasing to God, damaging to relationships, and deserving of judgment, so too is the nursing of anger within our hearts. The title of this message is “As Quickly As Possible” as Jesus exhorts his disciples to deal with anger quickly, revealing how our relationship with God is deeply intertwined with our relationships to one another. First Baptist Church, Vancouver, BC | February 5, 2012 | Matthew 5:21-26
