Sermons About Sermon-on-the-mount
A City on a Hill
In Matthew 5 Jesus launches into his most famous of all talks, we call it the Sermon on the Mount. This was not a deep theological discussion, or not even a talk about doctrine necessarily. In His sermon, Jesus talked about what it looks like when a person follows Him. He gave a clear description of the behavior of a Christ follower. Before He describes it He likens the behavior to a city on a hill, He also calls his followers the light of the world. What did all that mean to the original listener of that sermon? More importantly, what does it mean to us two thousand years later? Track with us over the next three weeks as we discover the impact our faith should have on the people around us.

Jesus Christ & The Word, Pt. 4 (Matthew 5:19)
One of the chief marks of our fallenness is our rebellion to authority. Men want to be free, autonomous, our own person, follow own agenda, pursue own goals. The idol of American culture is individuality. Fallen man kicks at authority, because *Authority assumes *Accountability. Generally people are fine talking about God in generic terms, but when the issue of His absolute authority comes up - things change. Jesus, in 5:17-20, in absolutely unequivocal terms is establishing the absolute authority of the Word of God and His own Person. In verses 17-18, we have seen that Jesus establishes the authority of the Word in three ways: (1) Stands in judgment of false religion (2) It is fulfilled in the Messiah (3) It is permanent Now, 19-20, Jesus will establish the authority of the Word by declaring our accountability to it: (1) Accountable to its prescriptions (2) Accountable to its Righteousness.
