Righteousness - Avoiding Anger & Lust

The Sermon on the Mount is not merely a philosophical statement meant to tickle the mind. Jesus told it to be obeyed. It is a beautiful picture of how Christians are to practically live their lives. When the church lives by the power and leading of the Holy Spirit in alignment with this sermon of Christ, they are the genuine witness He intends them to be, living the abundant joy-filled life and offering the world an authentic, life-giving alternative to what culture provides. In our series, Kingdom Living, Vol. 1, we examine and learn from the Sermon on the Mount as recorded in Matthew 5–6:1-6,16-18. It is a dynamic journey that leads to a better understanding of how a believer ought to live, but also the ability to experience the power, peace, and joy God offers to those who truly receive Christ as Savior and Lord.
