Real Life Church

The Lords Prayer | Matthew 6:9 | Tim Fleener

When we truly see God as Father and ourselves as His adopted children, prayer moves from duty to delight. When we hallow His name through genuine reverence, we align our hearts with heaven itself.

Beware of Hypocrisy | Matthew 6:1-6 | Tim Fleener
Jesus warns us: Don’t practice your righteousness to be seen by others.

Consequences of Hypocrisy:
1. Loss of reward
2. Will be exposed (Luke 12:1-3)
3. Worthless religion & vain worship
4. Dishonors God

How to Overcome It:
1. Seek God’s approval over people’s
2. Cultivate sincere love, believing He hears your secret prayers and forgives

Authentic faith starts in the heart.

Marks of Maturity Part 2 | Matthew 5:33-48 | Tim Fleener

Jesus teaches us what real maturity looks like - turning the other cheek, refusing revenge, and responding to hurt with radical love.

Learn the blessings that come when we choose forgiveness and how to "kill them with kindness" God's way.

Sermon: What Jesus Really Said About Divorce | Matthew 5:31-32 | Tim Fleener

Jesus addresses divorce in the Sermon on the Mount. The Jewish scholars were split between the strict School of Shammai and the lenient School of Hillel. Moses required a certificate of divorce but why did God permit it?

In this message we unpack:
- Why God hates divorce
- The two biblical exceptions (sexual immorality & abandonment)
- Marriage as a picture of Christ and the Church (Eph 5:25)

We also explore God’s design: leave and cleave, one flesh, and the roles of husbands and wives.
No matter your situation, this teaching points us back to God’s hope and healing.

The greatest battle many of us are fighting isn’t happening around us, it's raging inside our own minds. Jesus doesn't ignore that battle but He addresses it directly.

In Matthew 5:27-28, Jesus raises the standard and shows us how to win the war for our thought life.
