Sermon on the Mount: Point #1
January 23, 2024 • Pastor Michael Gabbert • Matthew 5:17–48, Matthew 6:1–18
Following a definition of true happiness and a call to influence and duty, the sermon continues with an explanation of conduct appropriate among Kingdom people. Jesus teaches it is not enough to avoid sinful behavior if we also fail to deal with the heart. Likewise, positive behavior must flow from a right heart, a correct motive. Jesus-followers display a radical commitment to a higher standard for life.
