“The Heart of Righteousness” — Artie Lindsay

Matthew 5:17–48

Big Idea: Jesus forms our hearts so that our relationships reflect the Father’s love.

I. The righteousness of Jesus goes beneath the action to the heart.

II. The righteousness of Jesus protects the dignity of our neighbor.

III. The righteousness of Jesus refuses to let evil set the terms of our response.
