=Raise the Bar=

*Romans 3:23
"23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,"

*2 Corinthians 5:17
"17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!"

"The Standard of Excellence: Scripture"

*2 Timothy 3:16-17
"16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness,
17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."

*Matthew 5:17
"17 "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

Jesus Raised the Bar:
1. On Murder (Matthew 5:21-22)
"21 "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.'
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to his brother, 'Raca,' is answerable to the Sanhedrin. But anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell."

2. On Adultery (Matthew 5:27-28)
"27 "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'
28 But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

3. On our Enemies (Matthew 5:43-44)
"43 "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44 But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you"

To Raise the Bar of Excellence:
1. Enjoy the Struggle. (Matthew 5:41)
"41 If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles."

2. Next Generation Driven Passion.

3. Change the Unit of Measurement. (Mark 12:41-42)
"41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts.
42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins,worth only a fraction of a penny."

4. Be a God's Glorifier. (1 Corinthians 10:31)
"31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."
