Sermon On The Mount

Description

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ radical message for his followers to live counter-culturally. It shocked his audience in first-century Israel, and its message continues to go against the grain 2,000 years later. If a church - if Christians - have lost their impact; if they’re wondering what difference following Jesus makes in their lives, the Sermon on the Mount is an invitation to return to Jesus’ essential teachings and to see our faith and our lives with fresh eyes.

Salt and light. Two incredibly simple illustrations Jesus used to show his followers how they ought to live differently from the surrounding culture, and simultaneously how they'll impact that culture for the kingdom of God. So it's worth asking, how salty are we? How brightly do we shine?

In Jesus' opening remarks to his famous Sermon on the Mount, he describes the character qualities that he desires his followers to embody - and the blessing they will receive. At first reading, it looks like a simple list, but dive a bit deeper, and you'll see they are incredibly counter-cultural.
