The Peculiar Kingdom of God & its People ~ I Say to You

Today we return to Matthew chapter five. Last week we finished our exploration of the beatitudes, the blessed attitudes, and the virtues of God’s Kingdom and its people, which was just the beginning of a much larger exploration of what we know today, as the Sermon on the Mount. Insomuch, as our journey through the beatitudes, which introduced us to the true upside-down nature of God’s Kingdom and its people. An upside-down nature to this world.

If the beatitudes were not shocking enough. What comes next in the sermon is sure to do the trick.  As we look at the next part of the sermon known as the, “I say to you, sayings.”

CHALLENGE

Will any of what Jesus has to say to us matter to us? Do we believe in who He is? If so has what He has said to us mattered?
