Sermon On The Mount: Greater Righteousness

This sermon examines Jesus's teachings on greater righteousness, specifically focusing on Matthew 5:17-20. The passage contrasts Jesus's perspective on the Law with that of the Pharisees, who emphasized strict adherence to external rules. Jesus, however, asserts that he came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, emphasizing a righteousness that surpasses external actions. This greater righteousness, as defined in the text, originates from a transformed heart, aligned with God's will, unlike the hypocritical righteousness of the Pharisees. Pastor Juniece concludes by highlighting that true righteousness is rooted in a genuine relationship with God, empowered by the Holy Spirit, and manifested through actions motivated by humility and service.
