How is the follower of Jesus to understand the words of the Old Testament? How are those words relevant to the New Covenant he is establishing? What might the words of the Lord’s Prayer have conveyed to his initial followers, and why is that historical information essential to the prayer two millennia later? In Sermon on the Mount, Dr. Amy-Jill Levine takes a detailed and colorful overview of Matthew 5-7, collectively known as Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount.

The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters five to seven) is one of the most beloved passages of scripture. The Sermon is the longest continuous discourse of Christ in the New Testament and includes some of his best known teachings like the Beatitudes and the Lord's Prayer. In this devotional study, Oswald Chambers explains it in simple yet insightful terms in the following five sections: His Teaching and Our Training, Actual and Real, Incarnate Wisdom and Individual Reason, Character and Conduct, and Ideas, Ideals, and Actuality.

In the first part of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus had made four points. First, He had been telling them to be poor in spirit, which meant that they should have a heart and mind that would be open to His instructions. Second, He had made some specific promises to those who are poor in spirit, mourning over their spiritual condition, meek, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, merciful, pure in heart, and makers of peace. He had spoken to those people who would be persecuted for His name's sake. He had spoken to those who have a responsibility to be salt and light. Third, He had ...

Jesus’ Beatitudes were first spoken nearly two millennia ago, in these simple statements—when you really look at them with fresh eyes and grasp their depth of meaning—you will find the same pertinence, relevance, and challenge that his first-century audience felt. In them, you will find an invitation into the sacred (holy, set-apart) space of de(re)construction. I hope that, for you, this is not just another book on something Jesus said. Instead, I hope that you might feel seen by Jesus in his Beatitudes, as I have—that you might know that your questioning, confusion, and rethinking...

No Greater Love is a study of Jesus' interactions with people throughout the book of John, including Nicodemus, the woman at the well, and even the Pharisees. What did this love look like in action, especially with those who are hard to love? As it turns out, he didn't love people because they deserved it; he loved them because he is love.

Let’s face it. A lot of Christian resources can feel cheesy, out-of-touch, and a little boring.

He takes a look at some of Jesus’ most demanding teachings in the Sermon on the Mount and pushes us to ask whether we’re really hearing what Christ is saying.

The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus Christ's most well-known sermon and could more accurately be called a "mountain of a sermon". It gives directives on living for Jesus' kingdom, covering such issues as loving your enemies, praying effectively, advancing God's will, and submitting to Christ's authority. In this series, Pastor Skip Heitzig takes us through these instructions on holy living and how they should affect our everyday lives.

It is part of our natural tendency as humans to judge one another. We see someone act, and we immediately attempt to ascribe a motive––often the motive that we would have if we were to do the same thing. And yet, this form of judging is completely counter to what God calls us to do. Indeed, we are to judge whether actions are right or wrong, but we cannot judge motivations or character.This book explores why judging isn't in our purview, and why this topic is so crucial for a believer's life. Removing a judgmental attitude can change relationships, can relieve stress and make us more ...
