Sermon On The Mount | Raising The Bar
Shared on: Sep 2, 2019
The Sermon on the Mount is arguably one of the most important sections of Scripture for revealing to God's people what it means to live out their faith in Christ. From beginning to end, Jesus addresses some of the most important facets of the Christian walk, teaching us how to follow him in the midst of a world headed in the opposite direction. This collection of resources is designed to help you lead your community through this important section from Matthew's gospel in order that they may build their lives upon the solid rock of Christ, rather than the shifting sands of the world.
