Sermons

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reverses the world’s value system. The poor are blessed, mourners find comfort, and the meek are honored. While this is a great source of encouragement, Jesus also says things that aren’t as easy to accept. For instance, He said harboring anger toward someone is akin to murder. And, if we look lustfully at another person, we’re committing adultery in our hearts. These are hard truths. But Jesus speaks these words to set us free from the prison of resentment and bitterness, and free from the pain of searching for love in superficial relationships. Join us as we hear the hard—but liberating—teaching of Jesus.
