The Sermon on the Mount: Build on the Rock - Week 10 :Matthew 5:38-48

Relationships in life are complicated. Some of them grow to become beautiful friendships. But some end up broken. We all know how to respond in love to our friends, but how do we respond to our enemies? In the last verses of our current section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus will address how Christians are to respond to their enemies. In our sermon series through the Sermon on the Mount, we will see that Jesus was giving a manifesto for how Christians are to live as citizens of heaven, while still being residents of a sinful world. But this is no easy task, and the sermons will challenge us to think differently about obedience. It will challenge us to think deeply about grace and law. And it will challenge us to think soberly about what it means to be a disciple.
