Kingdom of Heaven 17



Description

Finishing up Season 2 of Kingdom of Heaven, our series in the Gospel of Matthew, Richard looks at the conclusion of Jesus’s Sermon on The Mount where He concludes with a very sobering ending to reinforce the need for us to embrace the way that he has taught us to live. To actually live out what He has taught, rather than just admire it from a distance. To see this, we look at the three metaphors presented in this passage, the wise & foolish builder, the true and the false prophet and the narrow and the wide road.

Kingdom of Heaven 09



Description

This week we take a look at what Jesus says about ‘the law.’ We investigate exactly what he means when he says ‘…abolish the law or the Prophets;’ A watershed passage that is challenging because it’s difficult to understand and also because it confronts the way that we think about our lives.

Kingdom of Heaven 08



Description

Within the broader context of the Sermon on The Mount, this week we take a look at Jesus speaking about us being Salt and Light. The presence of Christians should improve the lives of those around them, just like salt and light improve the taste of food and brighten up a dark room. Even though Christians may be persecuted or overlooked, their presence and living out of the beautiful attitudes Jesus taught will have a positive impact. A little bit of Christianity goes a long way, and even though they may be outnumbered, Christians can still make a difference.
