Matters of the Heart

Series Information

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus announces his purpose regarding the Law.  He did not come to erase or minimize the law of Moses, but rather to fulfill it.  He then makes a series of “you have heard” statements.  He addresses the common teaching around anger, integrity, and love in these statements, but then shows how each of these should be fulfilled in the Kingdom of God.  Jesus’ words are to be the foundation of how we live as believers.  In our world, the common understanding of anger, integrity, and love are centered around what is best for “self.”  What would it be like if believers lived according to Jesus words?  “But I say…”  These are words to live by.
