Jesus’ roadmap for life.
The Sermon on the Mount has been described as “the heart of Jesus’ teaching,” “the essence of his ethics,” “the world’s most important sermon,” “Jesus’ description of what he wanted his followers to be and to do,” and a “roadmap for daily life.” It’s not an easy path, but it’s one that leads to a life of purpose, joy, and peace.
Over six weeks, this series walks your congregation through Matthew 5–7, where Jesus turns expectations upside down, calls his followers to a faith that goes deeper than rule-keeping, and invites them to build their lives on a foundation that will hold. Whether your people have known these words for years or are hearing them with fresh ears, they’ll discover a teaching that still challenges, comforts, and reshapes everyday life.
Sermon recordings, study guides, series graphics, and promotional materials are all included and ready to use or adapt for your church.
