The Teaching of Christ

Matthew 5:1-2; 7:28-29

Matthew 5:1-2 When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.

Matthew 7: 28-29 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.

The Sermon on the Mount is an incredible teaching that helps us recognize the priorities of the Kingdom of Heaven. In this sermon, Cory introduces us to the teaching by offering an overview of the content, an introduction to the kingdom theme, and a call to be radically different.
