The last time we addressed the Sermon on the Mount we talked about being free from fear, that the warning to “Beware of false prophets” was not a call to fear but instead a release from it. Jesus’ words are never to be fear inducing because His character is love and as we have learned...

Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 7:13-14 “The Narrow Way”
Our response to the Sermon on the Mount begins with a decision, will we surrender to the surpassing righteousness that Jesus has described for us? That decision isn’t only for a moment, it is a continual choice to deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Jesus. The command you “enter by the narrow gate”...
