Sermon OTM - Matthew 6:33

Did you know, many Christians avoid the Sermon On the Mount?The problem is that they misread the Sermon- they think Jesus demands a perfection that is beyond us• what actually happens in the Sermon is that it empowers us◦ we learn the way of sincerity, integrity, and mercy• whatever else it might mean to be Christian,◦ above all, it means to be a “good person”◦ loving, caring, helping, serving- I feel that what we go over today can’t be “just another talk”• we need to know how to get Jesus’ teaching into our hearts, and minds, and our everyday lives• this verse, that I skimmed over last week,◦ teaches us where we need to go from here
