Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 5 (the Sermon on the Mount), focusing on Jesus' hard teaching about anger and lust. He explains that Jesus raises the standard from external obedience to the condition of the heart - anger toward others and lustful looks are judged. Herrin warns how unresolved anger leads to bitterness and unforgiveness, which damage our relationship with God and others, and he urges immediate reconciliation. The remedy is not self-improvement alone but walking with Jesus: his righteousness covers us and his Spirit transforms our desires over time. He closes with an invitation to submit to Christ, get back up after failure, and pursue practical rhythms (Bible, prayer, community) for change.
“"Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart... if your right eye causes you to stumble gouge it out."” · Noah Herrin
Take it with you
When you sense anger, address it quickly - seek reconciliation before worship and don't let the sun go down on it. Forgiveness is a spiritual discipline: choose to forgive as you have been forgiven; unresolved anger leads to bitterness and spiritual harm. Overcoming lust, anger, and unforgiveness happens primarily by walking with Jesus - regular Bible reading, prayer, repentance, and community help the Spirit reshape desires. If you fail, return to the presence of God rather than hiding; get back up and keep pursuing Christ.

Why'd You Build It Like That? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin finishes the series on the Sermon on the Mount by preaching from Matthew 7:21-27 about two builders - one who builds on rock (Jesus) and one who builds on sand. His main argument is that hearing Jesus' words is not enough; obedience and applying Scripture are what create a firm, storm‑proof foundation.
Don't Judge Me - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin examines Matthew 7:1 in context and argues Jesus is not prohibiting all judgment but calling for right judgment. He explains that biblical judgment requires first examining your own sin, acting from humility, and aiming to help restore others.
Does Fasting Work? - Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches on fasting from Matthew 6 within the Sermon on the Mount, explaining fasting as a spiritual practice meant to remind us that God - not food - is our sustainer. He emphasizes that fasting without prayer is pointless and that Jesus pairs fasting and prayer because prayer turns up the voice of God while fasting turns down the voice of the world.
