City On a Hill: Anger
Matthew 5:21–26
Pastor Jayson Workman
June 19, 2022 — South Gate Baptist
Introduction:
When anger RULES in your heart, it will RUIN your life.
- Anger is rooted in the heart. (vv. 21–22)
Matthew 15:19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, slander.
Luke 6:45 The good person out of the good treasure of his heart produces good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure produces evil, for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.
- Anger is reckless. (v. 22)
Hebrews 12:14–15 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled;
Gives the enemy a foothold
Destroys you and others around you
A heart RULED by anger will RUIN the best things in your life.

City On a Hill: Relationship, not Religion
Matthew 5:17-20
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate Baptist Church—June 12, 2022
A religion without a relationship is just a bunch of rules.
The foundation of our faith is grace, not our good works.
- Rules without a relationship is just religion.
It cannot save you.
Romans 8:3-4 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
It cannot sanctify you.
Romans 5:20 Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more. . . .
Romans 6:1 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
Titus 2:11-12 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. . . .
- Renew a pursuit of Jesus, not rule-keeping.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
- Renewal will result when you pursue Jesus.
Proverbs 24:16 Though a righteous man falls seven times, he will get up. . . .

Blessed Are the Peacemakers
Worship Minister Derick Mickan
Matthew 5:9
June 5, 2022
Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
Big Idea: Pursuing peace is the pathway to untold blessing.
- A Peacemaker finds Blessing
- A Peacemaker builds Bridges
- A Peacemaker is Beloved
Important Point: The kingdom of God cannot be at war within itself.
Four questions that can help you identify if you are being a peacemaker:
- Are you aiming for restoration or for vindication?
- Are you being a comfort to others or a burden?
- If you are not in agreement, why?
- Would you characterize your life as one lived in peace?

Pastor Jayson Workman
Matthew 5:8
May 29th, 2022
Introduction:
A pure heart precedes a powerful life.
John 1:12 But to all who did receive Him, He gave them the right to be children of God, to those who believe in His name. . . .
- A heart RESCUED from brokenness
Jeremiah 17:9 The heart is more deceitful than anything else, and incurable—who can understand it?
Luke 6:45 A good man produces good out of the good storeroom of his heart. An evil man produces evil out of the evil storeroom, for his mouth speaks from the overflow of the heart.
- A heart RELENTLESSLY devoted to Jesus
James 4:4 Adulteresses! Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world’s friend becomes God’s enemy.
- A heart rewarded for its DEVOTION
A heart fixed on CHRIST will never lack CLARITY.

Kingdom Makers: Blessed Are the Merciful
Matthew 5:7
Pastor Jayson Workman
May 22, 2022
Introduction:
A life without mercy is a life without freedom or purpose.
- Consider the MAGNITUDE of mercy
- CHARACTERIZED by mercy
Ephesians 4:32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Quote: “Forgiveness isn’t a feeling. It is an action You don’t forgive and forget. You forgive and remember that you forgave.” —Joby Martin
Mercy GIVEN doesn’t mean mercy RETURNED.
- CONSUMED with the MISSION of mercy
Quote: “Start praying for an opportunity to point people to Jesus, and that’s a prayer that God can’t wait to answer.”
Quote: “If we had an accurate view of eternity (both the joy of heaven and the hopelessness of hell), everything would change about our priorities.”

Kingdom Makers: Blessed Are the Hungry
Matthew 5:6
Pastor Jayson Workman
May 15, 2022 — South Gate Baptist Church
Introduction:
Your hunger can be the pathway to personal blessing or burden.
- Hungry and not Happy
God is more concerned with WHO you are not WHAT you do.
You don’t know Jesus is all you need until Jesus is all you have.
Quote: “We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition, when infinite joy is offered to us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by an offer of holiday at sea, we are far too easily pleased.”
- Subtract the Substitutes
- Source of Satisfaction
Place of Righteousness
Pursuit of Righteousness
Purpose of Righteousness
Proverbs 11:19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die.

Kingdom-Makers: Meek
Pastor Jayson Workman
May 8, 2022
Matthew 5:5
Introduction:
A surrendered life is a secure life.
- A call to radical submission/surrender
Philippians 2:3-8 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
- A call to restful confidence
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
- A call to real purpose
Matthew 6:33 But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

Kingdom Manifesto: Blessed Are the Mourners
Worship Minister Derick Mickan
Matthew 5:4
Matthew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
THE BIG IDEA: Those who mourn over sin will receive comfort.
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
- The self-righteous never discover satisfaction.
Matthew 23:11-12 The greatest among you shall be your servant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
- Consequences of covering
Proverbs 28:13 Whoever conceals his transgressions will not prosper, but he who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.
Psalm 32:3-4 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.
- Confession provides comfort.
Psalm 32:1-11
Kingdom-Makers mourn their sin but live on mission.

Romans 12:1–6
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate — April 10, 2022
Introduction:
Each and every one of us has been uniquely created to serve God.
- Plea for sacrificial service (v. 1)
When was the last time you surrendered your life to God?
- Picture of diversity (vv. 3–5)
There is greater strength and potential in diversity, not in similarities.
- Power of distinction (v. 6)
1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace. . . .
John Henry Newman, the author of Lead, Kindly Light, said, “God has created me to do Him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which He has not created to another. He has not created me for naught. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him. If in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If in sorrow my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about!”

Matthew 20:20–28
Pastor Jayson Workman
South Gate Baptist—April 3, 2022
Healthy churches/disciples are servants.
- Greatness is not self-promotion. (vv. 20–21)
Greatness is not in position—it is in perseverance.
Philippians 2:3-5 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
- Greatness is not in power. (v. 25)
Philippians 2:6-8 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
- Greatness is found in serving. (vv. 27–28)
Quote: “True Christianity is not about adding Jesus to your life. Instead, it is about devoting myself completely to Him—submitting wholly to His will and seeking to please Him above all else.”
3 John 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
2 Corinthians 4:18 as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.
