Summer on the Mount | The Old Testament for 21st Century Christians

Let’s be real. Some of the commands we read in the Old Testament seem outdated and no longer applicable for Christians today. We say things like, “We have the New Testament, so we don’t need the Old Testament anymore.” In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus shares how He views the Old Testament and how we should relate to it today. And what we discover is that we should embrace the Old Testament as a vital foundation for our faith, understanding that Jesus fulfills its message, transforms its demands, and empowers us to live out its timeless principles.
