For the seasons of Lent and Easter we will be journeying through Jesus' teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). In this series we will be highlighting the Sermon as the narrow path and firm foundation for true flourishing and wholeness. Through our series in the Beatitudes last Fall, we saw that Jesus invites us to live counter-culturally—pursuing, among other things, humility, mercy, and righteousness. As we turn our attention to the rest of Jesus’ teachings, we will discover that He reveals the path of integrity, peace, and purity.

 

This series will emphasize two ways in which Jesus summarizes His teachings in the Sermon: the narrow path and the firm foundation. In a world that offers us fulfillment in fleeting things and momentary flourishing, Jesus' teachings provide the path and solid rock on which lasting joy and purpose are found. This series will take us through both the seasons of Lent and Easter because it is the Sermon on the Mount which shows us both our need for the cross of Christ and the resurrected life the Spirit of God enables us to live in Christ.
