At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus has three final teachings. The common theme that underscores all of them is the importance of obedience. In some sense, we could say that the final word of the sermon is this: obedience matters. We want to faithfully follow Jesus because his way is the way to life, now and in eternity.

In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus commands us to enter the narrow gate and follow the narrow path. Part of this is because Jesus wants us to be judged righteous at his return. The other part of this, however, is that life on the narrow path is much more fulfilling than living any other way.

At the end of the main body of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches us to seek his Father in prayer and to treat everyone as we ourselves would like to be treated. In this sermon, Pastor Will works through Matthew 7:7-12, showing that we should seek God at all times, even in our anger and frustration, and endeavor to balance love and obedience.

There's quite a puzzle at the beginning of Matthew chapter 7. At first, it seems like Jesus is against people judging each other. But then, just verses later, Jesus teaches us to discern things about other people. In this sermon, Pastor Will explains that Matthew 7:1-6 is about us being generous towards others in not condemning them in judgment. We should still use godly wisdom and discernment in all that we do.

Jesus believed in the provision of his Father, that there is enough for everyone. In this sermon, Adam Wierwille works through Matthew 5:25-34, showing that when we focus on God and put away materialism, we enter into a place of peace instead of worry.

Throughout the Sermon on the Mount, we have seen Jesus's vision for life and how it confronts the usual way we think. How he thought about money is no different. In this sermon, Pastor Will walks through Matthew 6:19-24, showing that generosity is a core Christian virtue. Who do we trust in: God or money?

This is the first podcast in a new stream for Compass called Perspectives. We hope that this conversation about Torah Observance will help broaden your understanding of scripture and how it can be applied.

The resurrection of Jesus is one of the pivotal moments in history, and it means so much. In this sermon, Pastor Will talks about Romans 6:1-11, showing that Jesus's resurrection shows us that we should walk in newness of life.

Almost 2,000 years ago, Jesus entered Jerusalem on what we now call Palm Sunday, finally declaring himself as the rightful King and Messiah. In this sermon, Rev. Leon Weller discusses Palm Sunday and what it means for us today.

Why does the Lord's Prayer have an extra line after the prayer about forgiveness? Perhaps it's because forgiveness is one of the hardest things (and most beneficial things) that God asks us to do. In this sermon, Adam Wierwille works through Matthew 6:14-18, showing that forgiveness and fasting are both crucial elements of following Jesus.
