The Sermon on the Mount

Mar 23, 2025    Pastor Mark Reynolds

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus presents a revolutionary vision of God's kingdom that challenges our worldly values. We're called to find blessedness in unexpected places - in our brokenness, humility, and pursuit of righteousness. This teaching invites us to examine our hearts, not just our actions. Are we living out God's love in our relationships, even with our enemies? Are we practicing our faith authentically, or seeking the approval of others? As we reflect on these teachings, we're encouraged to choose the narrow path that leads to true life. This path may be difficult, but it promises freedom from bitterness, anxiety, and hypocrisy. It offers us a life of purpose, joy, and inner peace, even amidst life's challenges. Today, we're invited to embrace this kingdom life, trusting that faithfulness to Jesus is infinitely rewarding.
