Sermon on the Mount 1 - Introduction & Beatitudes 1-3 | Sermon 10/27/24
Description
The gospel of Matthew presents Jesus to us as King and shows us the Kingdom of God, which as we learned in our Identity study, is our life’s priority. As believers in Christ, we are citizens of this Kingdom, with Jesus as our King, and His glory as our aim. While great speeches such as; “Four score and seven years ago….” or “I have a dream…” are inspirational and worthwhile reads, Jesus’ sermon on the mount are God’s words declaring what His kingdom is all about and deserve our attention and study. In essence this is our Kings’ Proclamation!
As you prepare for this week’s teaching, take some time to locate the context of Jesus’ sermon by reading an Introduction and background on the book of Matthew and skimming Matthew 1-5.
During this series, we encourage you to commit to reading (or listening) to Matthew chapters 5-7 daily (or at least weekly.) It will take you about 15 minutes and will greatly enhance your understanding and application of this important passage of scripture.
