Living Toward the Day: 'Anger & Desire' (Matt 5:17-30)

Episode 12 | Matt 5:17-30 | Dave Miles | 19/07/2026

In this sermon on Matthew 5:17–30, Dave explores Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount regarding the true depth of God’s commands. Rather than setting aside the Old Testament, Jesus fulfills it by targeting the condition of the human heart.

By taking a closer look at the original Greek language, Dave breaks down Jesus' radical instructions on managing continuous anger (omonos), avoiding destructive verbal contempt, acting quickly toward reconciliation, and guarding our hearts against improper longings (epithumia) while maintaining a healthy, passionate view of marriage and beauty.
