Today we will take one final look at Jesus’ parable of the wise and the foolish builder. Through this story Jesus has shown us His definition of wisdom and foolishness, that the only thing that separates the wise from the fools is obedience to His teaching. He has taught us that endurance is found in...

Jesus closed the Sermon on the Mount with a parable to teach the importance of obedience. Last week we learned that the difference between wisdom and foolishness is not hearing Jesus’ teaching, it is doing what Jesus has taught. Wisdom begins with being “poor in spirit”, recognizing the need to be taught, to listen, to...

The Bible has a lot to say about wisdom. Men like Moses and Joshua are extolled for their wisdom, for having God’s mind and walking in God’s ways. The wisdom of God is celebrated greatly in the Psalms, Job refers to wisdom often, the book of Proverbs is almost completely a statement on what wisdom...

Last week we discussed Jesus’ announcement that not everyone that calls Him Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, Jesus said that those who enter the kingdom of heaven are those who do the will of His Father. For some people this statement is a battle because we stand firmly on Ephesians 2:8-9 “For by...

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...

I had planned on being finished with our discussion about “false prophets” with last week’s sermon, I guess we would all like to be done with false prophets sooner than later, but the more I read, and thought and prayed there was one final thought that I feel I need to express. There is a...

Today we continue our discussion of Jesus’ warning “Beware of false prophets”. Jesus has taught us, through the Sermon on the Mount, the character of God, the culture of His kingdom, what He requires of His children and the heart condition, called surpassing righteousness, necessary for following Jesus. After His teaching was complete Jesus called...

For the last two weeks we have discussed our response to the Sermon on the Mount. In many ways the sermon closed with Jesus saying “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” From that point on Jesus is calling for us...

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”...
