    Week seven of 24 focuses on Jesus teaching about Murder, Hatred and Loving our enemies.

    Jesus finishes the Sermon on the Mount by leaving his listeners with a responsibility for what they had heard.

    That pretty well tied up the morning. Jesus has been teaching his disciples about a whole range of subjects involving the kingdom of God and now he ties it up with a pretty bow and hands it to those who were listening and basically tells them, “You are responsible for what you are going to do with ...read more
