Matthew 5 | Andrew Hamm

The Sermon on the Mount: More Than You Think | Matthew 5 | Family Church Matthew Chapter 5 contains some of the most well-known words Jesus ever spoke — and some of the most misunderstood. In this message, our guest speaker walks us through the entire chapter, verse by verse, unpacking what Jesus was really saying in the Beatitudes, in His teachings on murder, adultery, divorce, oaths, and loving your enemies. Here's what most people miss: Jesus wasn't coming to get rid of the Old Testament. He came to complete it — to be the lens through which all of it finally makes sense. And when you read Matthew 5 through that lens, everything shifts. In this message you'll discover: What "poor in spirit" and "blessed are those who mourn" actually mean Why the hunger and thirst Jesus talks about is nothing like a mid-afternoon snack craving How Jesus raises the bar from action to heart — and why that's actually good news What the Sermon on the Mount has to say about your marriage Why "love your enemies" is the most radical thing Jesus ever said This is part of our ongoing series reading through the book of Matthew together — because the Bible is enough. 📖 Scripture: Matthew 5:1–48 📍   👇 CONNECT WITH US Website: YourFamily.Church Instagram: @FamilyChurchYukon Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/familychurchyukon 00:00 — Welcome & Series Recap (Matthew 1–4) 02:00 — Why We Read the Bible Together 04:30 — Acts 2:42 & The Apostles' Teaching 06:00 — Matthew 28: Teach What Jesus Commanded 07:30 — Beginning of Matthew 5: The Beatitudes (vv. 1–12) 09:00 — What "Poor in Spirit" Actually Means 11:00 — Blessed Are Those Who Mourn 12:30 — Meekness, Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness 15:00 — The Hunger Jesus Describes vs. Our Comfortable Lives 17:30 — Persecution — What It Actually Means 19:30 — You Can't Do This Alone 20:30 — Salt of the Earth & Light of the World (vv. 13–16) 22:00 — Jesus Fulfills the Law — Not Abolishes It (vv. 17–20) 24:30 — Jesus as the Lens for the Old Testament 27:30 — The Pharisees & Righteousness of the Heart 28:00 — Murder Starts With Anger (vv. 21–26) 30:00 — Adultery Starts With the Heart (vv. 27–32) 31:30 — Marriage as a Picture of God's Commitment 35:00 — Oaths & the Power of Your Word (vv. 33–37) 38:00 — Eye for an Eye — Jesus Flips It (vv. 38–42) 39:00 — Love Your Enemies (vv. 43–48) 41:30 — What Jesus Is Actually Asking of Us 43:00 — Challenge: Read Matthew 5 With Someone You Trust  44:00 — Closing Prayer
