    This is not a full sermon. It is a devotional to be used in your Bible study/discussion group. But the message is timely.

    “Enter by the narrow gate; for the gate is wide, and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter by it. For the gate is small, and the way is narrow that leads to life, and few are those who find it.” ...read more

    If we want the world to see Jesus in our Lives then we must learn to Live the Golden Rule. We are to Love not just the Lovable but also the person that is difficult to Love.

    Jesus urges his listeners to the Sermon on the Mount to make The Choice for Life in entering the Kingdom of God, in terms of Two Gates, Two Ways, Two Destinations and Two Crowds.

There’s a good example of this in two verses in our reading from Matthew’s account of the Sermon on the Mount: "Enter through the narrow ...read more
