God Really Wants to Bless You Part 1
July 7, 2023
Today on Light on the Hill we’ll be looking at a section of the sermon on the mount that is crucial to the life of a believer. We often find ourselves in a position as Christians where we lack the resources that God wants to give us, and it’s because we haven’t asked! Even when we ask God, we very often ask off target because we rarely know what’s best for us in life.

Matthew 7:7-14

In the sermon on the mount, The Lord said, “Judge not, lest you be judged.” It’s become one of the most misused and misunderstood statements ever uttered by Jesus. You’ll hear that phrase often invoked to excuse all sorts of bad behavior. But is that an accurate usage of the Lord’s words? Is Jesus saying, we’re to refrain from exercising judgement and discernment? Pastor James Kaddis doesn’t think so. And he’ll show us why as he continues a study in the Sermon on the Mount.

Today on Light on the Hill we'll be going over what may be one of the most misunderstood sections of the Sermon on the Mount. How many times have we heard someone say, “Judge not!” It’s almost always quoted out of context, and is often used to condemn anyone who chooses to make judgements based on the teachings and standards of the Bible. James Kaddis takes us to Matthew chapter seven, and we'll hear what Jesus is really communicating to us.

Anxiety and worry hits us all at various time. And maybe that’s something that you deal with in great measure? When it happens, what should you do? We'll talk about that today on Light on the Hill.

Fear and worry - it’s an everyday part of life for many Americans. When there are cutbacks at work and your boss says there’s no longer a place for you, or the doctor says its cancer and you’re not sure how you’ll be able to pay for treatment… you may start to get anxious and worry. Join us for Light on the Hill as we have another look at the Sermon on the Mount and hear what Jesus has to say on the subject.

Pastor James Kaddis is knee deep in his series, “What About.” We’re answering difficult questions by opening our Bibles and hearing what it has to say. Today’s question has to do with love. And you might be thinking at this point, “What so controversial about that?” Quite a bit, as you’ll hear today.

Maybe like many Christians you struggle with lust or pornography? Or perhaps covetousness has a grip on your life, and you’re constantly longing for more or the latest and greatest. Today pastor James Kaddis shows us what’s at the root of it all and how to get back to a place of victory.

Food is treasured in this nation of ours. Not only do we insist on our food prepared just right, but we look at the presentation, and we want it fast and easy. To ask us to give it up... that would be quite a sacrifice... wouldn’t it? Here on Light on the Hill, we give attention to the practice of fasting - denying our physical appetite to concentrate on our spiritual appetite.

The ways in which we communicate has certainly changed over the years! Remember using those rotary phones? Now today we have cell phones, where we can call or text someone wherever we are. Today on Light on the Hill, we’ll examine the best way to communicate with God. And it hasn’t changed a bit over the years. Pastor James Kaddis is currently teaching us from the Sermon on the Mount, and he’s encouraging us from the sixty-six word prayer in chapter six that can be used as a model for our prayer lives.

Prayer is a great privilege. Just think we have access to our Father in heaven 24/7, anytime we want. But too often we go about it all the wrong way. As if He’s a genie in a bottle, there to grant any wish we have. So how should we pray? We’re given some much needed guidance in the Sermon on the Mount from the ultimate teacher Jesus Himself.
June 27, 2023
We’ve reached Matthew chapter six today where we’re exhorted by Christ to do good deeds and give. Now there’s a right way and a wrong way to go about it. While many are seeking the approval and applause of people, as they do something good, the Lord wants us to bring Him all the glory instead.
