Kingdom Relationships (5:21-48) You have heard that it was said… But I say to you…. • Guard your heart (don’t harbor anger toward others). • Guard your words (don’t speak ill of others). • When relationships are broken, seek reconciliation. • Marriage is sacred -- stay faithful to your spouse. • Don’t make empty promises. • Go the second mile. • Love your enemies.
In a word, what I’m saying is, Grow up. You’re kingdom subjects. Now live like it. Live out your God-created identity. Live generously and graciously toward others, the way God lives toward you. – Matthew 5:48 (The Message)
Kingdom Motives (6:1-18) Give generously but not to be recognized publicly. Pray regularly but not to impress others.
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come, Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts; As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen. - Matthew 6:9-13

Don’t Worry Your heavenly Father knows you need all these things. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added to you.
