Sermon on the Mount What does it all mean? We have seen quotes from the Sermon on the Mount everywhere from pillows to posters, but what does this collection of Jesus’ teachings in Matthew 5 to 7 say to us? What does it mean that we are blessed when we are at the end of our rope? To seek God’s kingdom before everything else? To pray to someone who is our father? From the Beatitudes to the Lord’s Prayer, this collection of Jesus’ teachings is some of the best known but most frequently misunderstood passages of Scripture.

“Jesus just has this habit of exposing deep things in his followers, and it puts them (you) in the position where you can never truly be fully comfortable around Jesus. The moment Jesus doesn’t bother you, is the moment you know you have stopped listening to him really.” (Tim Mackie)

Consider where you have stopped truly listening to Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.
