THE TEACHING OF JESUS

              Sermon on the teachings of Jesus.  I explore what it means that Jesus was a Rabbi.  At the same time, it is important to understand that Jesus did not follow all the expectations of Rabbis in his day.  I look at parts of Matthew 7 to explore how Jesus' teachings explain life and ultimately say something about who Jesus is. In a side note: There are two times when I use visuals in the sermon.  At one point I put a log in my eye.  At another point I throw beads representing pearls at a stuffed kangaroo (we could not find a pig!).  These are not clear on the recording because they were meant to help the people in the pews.
