CURRENT TEACHING SERIES
Sermon on the Mount: Following the Jesus Way
Sunday Jan 8 – Feb 19 | 9+11 AM
At TMP, we have a vision to follow Jesus. But what does that look like? What is Jesus inviting people to do? These questions would have been on the minds of the people who came to hear Jesus’ proclamation of the good news of the Kingdom. As Jesus begins his ministry, at the beginning of the Gospel of Matthew, he pauses to teach a sermon to his disciples and to all those in the crowd. This sermon represents the heart of Jesus’ teaching. It is a Kingdom manifesto, a charter of a new people group, and a declaration of a new way of living. But it’s not what many expected. Jesus brings a new way of living that imagines that the Kingdom is arriving on earth as it is in heaven. As we begin this new year, we invite all those who want to follow the Jesus way to hear these shocking, beautiful, and transforming Kingdom teachings— and prepare to live them out.
