In this third installment of "The Sermon for the Mounted," we tackle one of the most misunderstood sections of Matthew 5: Jesus and the Law.

Jesus didn't come to abolish the Old Testament; He came to finish what it started. In this episode, we break down what the Law and Prophets were actually for—proving we can't be perfect on our own and separating God's people from the "pigs" of the world. We discuss why the Old Testament still matters, why you should stop getting your theology from TikTok, and the one condition Jesus sets for entering heaven that seems impossible... until you understand the power of simple belief.

Key Topics Covered:

Abolish vs. Accomplish: Jesus didn't scrap the rules; He fulfilled the mission.

The Purpose of the Law: To show us we can't earn righteousness and to set us apart from the world.

Least vs. Great: Why ignoring the "small" commands (and getting theology from social media) makes you "least" in the Kingdom.

The "But": Jesus’ warning that our righteousness must exceed the Pharisees'.

The Solution: How Abraham’s faith (and yours) counts as the righteousness required to enter heaven.
