In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells his followers not to worry and instead pay attention to the created world. God has abundantly provided for the birds and the flowers, and he will do the same for us.

Do not worry.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus uses “mammon” to describe wealth as something that lures us into a sense of false security. ????

Why does Jesus use the word “mammon?”

We respond to this question and more in our fourth Question and Response episode in our Sermon on the Mount series. Tune in for some special bonus content from our listeners. (Hint: ????).

"If we don't forgive others, will God not forgive us?"

What Jesus Teaches About Wealth and Possessions (Visual Commentary)

Jesus’ first audience was filled with people who often didn’t have enough to eat. And the Lord’s Prayer invites those hungry people, and all of his followers, to trust God to provide everything that we need—just as he did for the Israelites in the wilderness.????

Jesus prays for the reunion of Heaven and Earth. But he also teaches his followers how to enter God’s Kingdom now through loving God and neighbor.

What the Lord's Prayer is All About

Abraham trusted God to fulfill his promises and open a way forward.

The Hebrew word “he'imin” means to consider someone trustworthy or to trust.

How does Jesus invite us to participate in God’s Kingdom daily? Join us Monday, July 29 for the seventh episode in the 10-part Sermon on the Mount series.

Coming Soon: Sermon on the Mount Episode 7

Prayer is about spending time with God. And the Bible describes Jesus praying alone and with his followers. But Jesus instructs his followers to pray to God in secret if praying in front of others leads to hypocrisy.

Instead of Giving a Rule About Prayer, Jesus Offers This Wisdom

Jesus doesn’t describe one right way to give generously. Instead, he encourages his followers to cultivate a close relationship with God and do right for the right reasons.

How can we make sure our generosity is done out of love?

The biblical Greek word teleios is often translated “perfect.” More specifically, it refers to something that has fulfilled its purpose or accomplished the goal for which it was made.

Teleios = something that has fulfilled its purpose????

What does Jesus say about doing what is right for the wrong reasons? Join us Saturday, June 22 for the sixth episode in the 10-part Sermon on the Mount series.

Coming Soon: Sermon on the Mount Episode 6

Jesus provokes his listeners by offering a creative and unexpected response to unjust treatment.
