There is nothing else like the Sermon on the Mount in any literature, anywhere, ever. It is found in the Gospel of Matthew 5-7. One day Jesus went up on a mountain, his disciples sat around him, and he began to teach. Jesus' words that day established an impossibly high ethical standard. This is the gospel of his kingdom. It is the declaration of a New Covenant. "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill (Mt. 5:17)." Jesus promised that if we seek his kingdom, everything else in life will fall into place (Mt. 6:33). What does Jesus mean? What does he expect us to do? What is this vision of the kingdom he is calling us to pursue? Bible teacher Michael Brent takes us through the sermon's structure and flow of thought, beginning with a two-part overview of Matthew's introduction of Jesus in chapters 1-4 and then focusing in on the text of the sermon in Matthew 5-7.
