Continuing in Chapter 10, Jesus gives his disciples instructions on how they should act in the world and how they are to respond to the people that interact with them. Richard helps us see how Jesus prepared the twelve, allowing them to be strengthened in their ministry and rest in the power and guidance of the Spirit. This balance enables people to make their own choice to receive or reject the ministry.

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.
