Description:

In this episode of "How to Study the Bible," we kick off an exciting six-week series focused on the Sermon on the Mount. We'll explore how Jesus instructs us to build and take action on our faith. I encourage you to subscribe to the podcast to stay updated with each episode.

We dive into Matthew 5, examining how Jesus flips conventional wisdom upside down. I provide context by comparing Jesus' teachings to the events in Exodus, where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Jesus, like Moses, goes up a mountainside to teach, but He brings a new kingdom ethic that challenges and deepens our understanding of God's laws.

Key themes in this chapter include the invitation to participate and practice our faith, and the call to integrity, aligning our inner motivations with our outward actions. Jesus raises the bar on commandments like murder and adultery, emphasizing the importance of our thoughts and intentions.

This episode highlights the importance of humility and recognizing our limitations. Jesus sets a high standard to help us understand our need for Him. As we journey through these teachings, I encourage you to embrace your weaknesses and see them as the starting point for transformation.
