In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our study in the Gospel of Matthew—focusing on the **Sermon on the Mount**, where the Messiah reveals His divine authority to correctly interpret the Law of Moses.
Jesus contrasts His interpretation with that of the Pharisees, exposing the difference between **external religion** and **internal righteousness**. He reveals that true righteousness comes from the heart—not mere outward obedience.

Pastor Brandon also explains:
- Why Jesus said He came not to destroy the Law but to fulfill it
- The difference between the **Law of Moses** and the **Law of the Messiah**
- The eternal moral principles that still apply today
- How selective, “cafeteria-style” Christianity affects rewards in the Kingdom
- The danger of false teaching, cultural compromise, and the need to stand firm in biblical truth

This message challenges all believers to walk in holiness, discern truth from deception, and boldly proclaim Christ in an age of moral confusion.
