Matthew 5:38-48 (ESV)

³⁸ “You have heard that it was said, ‘An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.’ ³⁹ But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. ⁴⁰ And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. ⁴¹ And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. ⁴² Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.

⁴³ “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ ⁴⁴ But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, ⁴⁵ so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? ⁴⁷ And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? ⁴⁸ You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Sermon theme: Prayer is powerful. However, some people don’t seem to see answers to prayer. There is a way to make sure that your prayer is effective. That is what we will look at.

Mother’s Day Sermon

Judges 5: 6-7 (NIV)

5:6 “In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the roads were abandoned; travelers took to winding paths.

5:7 Village life in Israel ceased, ceased until I, Deborah arose, arose a mother in Israel.”

Judges 4: 6-10 (NIV)

6b “The Lord, the God of Israel, commands you: ‘Go, take with you ten thousand men of Naphtali and Zebulun and lead the way we way to Mount Tabor.

7 I will lure Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his troops to the Kishon River and give them into your hands.’ “

8 Barak said to her, “If you go with me, I will go; if you don’t go with me, I won’t go.”

9 “Very well,” Deborah said, “I will go with you. But because of the way you are going about this, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will hand Sisera over to a woman.” So Deborah went with Barak to Kedesh,

10 where he summoned Zebulun and Naphtali. Ten thousand men followed him, and Deborah also went with him.

Matt. 22:36-40 (NIV)

36 “Teacher, what is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37 Jesus replied, “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’

38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

39 And the second is like it: ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’

40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

Application:

1. Give God the glory for the victories in your life.

2. Tell others your story of what God has done in your life. It is your testimony, real and powerful.

Philippians 3: 7-14 (NIV)

Whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.

8  What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ.

9  and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.

10  I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,

11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

12  Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

13  Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,

14  I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
