Sermon on the Mount: Anger & Lust Part 2

UNTIED Podcast with Garrett Bernethy Season 4, Episode 7 — "Anger & Lust, Part 2"

In Part 2 of this powerful series, Garrett and Corey continue through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5, diving deeper into two of the most raw and relevant issues every believer wrestles with: anger and lust. Building on the thesis of Matthew 5:20, this episode unpacks what Jesus really meant when he raised the standard beyond outward behavior and pointed straight at the heart. From the different stages of anger in verses 21-26 to the sobering teaching on adultery and lust in verses 27-32, this conversation brings the words of Jesus into honest, practical focus for everyday life. Supported by texts ranging from Job 31 and 1 John to Romans 7 and the historical context of Jewish divorce law, this episode will challenge you to think carefully about what it means to follow Jesus not just in your actions, but in your thought life as well. If Part 1 got you thinking, Part 2 will take you even further.

Part 1: 1 Cor. 8-10; Rom. 15:1-2; Matt. 18; James 3:1-10
