We finish up chapter 5 of the book of Matthew today, still looking at the Sermon on The Mount. Justin takes a look at what Jesus says about our relationship with others.
Within the context of Jesus delivering the Sermon on the Mount, we take a look at the topic of anger and why Jesus chose to speak about anger and murder in particular.
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.
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.
This week Brett takes us through the beginning of the greatest sermon ever preached, Jesus preaching the sermon on the mount. We look at the beatitudes to learn the profound and counterintuitive perspective on what it means to be blessed and what it means to live a life that is pleasing to God.
