About this sermon

Wherever there is life, there is power. Humans can have physical, intellectual, emotional, or spiritual power. We can wield this power in a constructive way, building up those around us, or we can use it to destroy. Pastor Wiersbe explains how words can change a life, what it means to turn the other cheek, and how to use power as a tool to build. This message was preached in 1977 when Dr. Wiersbe was the Senior Pastor of The Moody Church in Chicago, IL.

And do not swear by your head, for you cannot make even one hair white or black. All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."
