This is the audio (27:06) of a Sunday sermon I preached at Redeemer Presbyterian Church (EPC) in Erie, PA, on February 8, 2026. The main texts were Matthew 5:21–22 and 12:33–37. Also read were Proverbs 11:11–21 and James 3:1–12.

This sermon was part of a series on the Gospel of Matthew. All of the sermons I preach at Redeemer are available on the church website (rpcerie.org/services). Some sermons, especially those in a series, I will post here also.
