Matthew 4:12-5:2: Re-introducing the Sermon on the Mount (The Sermon on the Mount)

Welcome to the 15th sermon in our series on meeting Jesus through The Sermon on the Mount. (15 of 31)

"The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." The most famous sermon ever preached. Some of the most profound words ever spoken. Practices that have become part of everyday life. Words used to defend, to justify, to exploit, to heal and to wound. . .words sometimes taken out of context. Jesus introduces the Sermon on the Mount by saying that the "kingdom of heave is at hand!" This is a pretty bold and loaded statement, and we want to take our time to consider what this means! what is the Kingdom of Heaven? What are the ethics of this kingdom? What is the economy of this kingdom? Who are her citizens, and how do they act? What do they value? So many good questions that might leave us "astonished" and asking the question: "...then what is our hope?" Join us as we explore the kingdom of heaven through the Sermon on the Mount and become more acquainted with The Good King.
