The Big Story | Sermon On The Mount - The King Who Lived What He Taught (Week in Review)

Scripture: Matthew 5–6 (Week Review) Runtime: ~6 minutesIt's Friday — time to pull back and take in the full picture of what Jesus taught on that hillside. Because the Sermon on the Mount isn't just beautiful teaching. It turns out to be something more surprising: a self-portrait.Everything Jesus asked of his followers, he did first. He blessed those no one else would bless. He pursued reconciliation for the people who hated him. He prayed in secret with no audience to impress. He held nothing back, storing no earthly treasure, trusting the Father for every need. And when the time came, he sought the Father's kingdom all the way to the cross.Live It Out This Week:Re-read the Beatitudes and ask the Spirit to show you which one he's forming in you right now. Cooperate with that work in one specific way.Is there a relationship where reconciliation is possible, but you've been avoiding it? Take one step toward peace.Pray the Lord's Prayer slowly each morning. Pause at your kingdom come and ask God what that looks like in your day.Take an honest look at where your treasure is. Consider one financial step toward investing more in God's kingdom and less in earthly security.Tell the Story: Most people assume the Sermon on the Mount is a beautiful set of ideals that nobody can actually live. This week you've seen something different — it's an announcement of a kingdom already breaking in, a portrait of the life Jesus himself lived, and an invitation to follow him into it by the power of his Spirit. Who in your life needs to hear that the Christian faith isn't about trying harder to be good?Hear the message for this week's devotional on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ChristFellowshipMcKinneyGet the written devotional at: https://cfhome.org/EGDIf you are in the North Dallas area and would like to join us for services each week, you can find all the information at https://cfhome.org.
