Kingdom Living, Volume 2 Part 6: A message on the original crowd's response and ours to Christ and His sermon. [Craig Cooper]
Show Notes
The Sermon on the Mount is not merely a philosophical statement meant to tickle the mind. Jesus told it to be obeyed. It is a beautiful picture of how Christians are to practically live their lives. When the church lives by the power and leading of the Holy Spirit in alignment with this sermon of Christ, they are the genuine witness He intends them to be, living the abundant joy-filled life and offering the world an authentic, life-giving alternative to what culture provides. Oswald Chambers rightly furnishes this insight, "The Sermon on the Mount is not a set of principles to be obeyed apart from identification with Jesus Christ. The Sermon on the Mount is a statement of the life we will live when the Holy Spirit is getting his way with us.” In our second part of or Sermon on the Mount series, Kingdom Living, Vol. 2, we will examine and learn from the Sermon on the Mount as recorded in Matthew 5 – 6:7 – 7:29. It will prove to be a dynamic journey. Suppose one determines to keep in the step with the Spirit. In that case, it will not only lead to a better understanding of how a believer ought to live, but also the ability to experience the power, peace, and joy God offers to those who truly receive Christ as Savior and Lord.
