“Understanding Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount”

Jesus taught in many ways: both by his actions and through his words. One of his famous blocks of teaching are found in section of Matthew’s Gospel titled “The Sermon on the Mount” – but, this isn’t really a sermon! It’s a series of discrete teachings, each of which could be the basis of a lecture, a community study, or a personal meditation. We’ll spend 6 weeks looking into several of these sections.
