Sermons About Sermon-on-the-mount
Jesus Wants To Break Your Heart
In what's commonly called "The Beatitudes", Jesus taught his followers what it truly means to live a life that is "blessed" by God. Their ideas of "blessing" were turned upside-down by Christ's teaching, and so this series on the Beatitudes is titled "The Upside-Down Life". Jesus taught that those who mourn are "blessed". What did he mean when he said this? We'll see here that the heart that mourns is a heart that is compassionate for others, a heart that is contrite over its own sin, and a heart that will be comforted by Jesus.

Blessed are the Bankrupt
In what's commonly called "The Beatitudes", Jesus taught his followers what it truly means to live a life that is "blessed" by God. Their ideas of "blessing" were turned upside-down by Christ's teaching, and so this new series on the Beatitudes is called "The Upside-Down Life". In this first sermon in the series, Greg Blosser expounds on what Jesus meant when he said "Blessed are the poor in spirit". Here we'll see that the life blessed by God is blessed with the Kingdom of God, the knowledge of God, and the grace of God.

New Student Orientation
The beginning of a new school year can be tough, no matter how old you are! Thankfully, in almost every case there is some kind of new student orientation to help smooth the transition. As Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount, He helps us smooth the transition into just who He is and what He is about.

Family: Friends or Enemies?
My earliest memory is in black and white. I am standing with my brother Tim beside my mother and father who are seated on the cushioned bench of a passenger car.

Who are the Merciful (Matthew 5:7)
We are continuing our study in what is the Lord Jesus’ most extensive and detailed explanation of what it means to be in the kingdom of God. This is not an instruction manuel on how to enter the kingdom, but a description of those who are already in the Kingdom; a description of all true believers, what it means to be a genuine Christian. I have noted repeatedly, and will continue to do so, that being a Christian is not about what you do, but is a matter of who you are. God is utterly unconcerned about externals in themselves, but is intensely concerned about the condition of your heart. The Certainty of your Christian profession is not about what you do, but what defines you in your inner man, your character, your view of God, sin, Christ, self, others, and the world. This morning we will continue to examine what the inner man of a genuine Christian looks like, by looking at verse 7 of Matthew 5, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”

Self-Denial or Self-Affirmation?
I picture my lovely wife sitting beside me on the couch, her hands busy with some task, her hair falling around her shoulders. I picture my children and grandchildren, each so delightful. And Jesus says, “You cannot love them more than you love me.”
