Matthew 6:1-4; 5:14-16; 3:16-17 - The way of life that Jesus calls His followers to embrace is not just about what you do, but also why you do it. We've all seen people who do "good" things in a bad way. In this teaching from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus reveals the right way to do right.

Matthew 5:38-48; Romans 12:17-21; 5:6-11; Luke 23:34 - Of all Jesus' countercultural teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, none is more radical than this. Jesus tells His followers that they should meet hostility with kindness, and love everyone: even their enemies. When we do this, we not only follow in the way of Jesus, we also make the world a better place.

Matthew 5:33-37 - The Sermon on the Mount is the greatest insight on what it looks like to live the Jesus life. It is one thing to say Jesus is our life, but these passages show us how to reflect that truth in everyday lifestyle. Today's text is a "Sermon on the Mouth." It is a sermon for everyone with a mouth; a sermon for everyone.

Matthew 5:31-32; 19:3-9; Genesis 2:20-24; 1 Corinthians 6:16-18; Ephesians 5:28-32; Deuteronomy 24:1-4 - Almost everyone in our society has been affected by divorce in one way or another. Though it's common, it's still a sensitive subject to talk about. Opinions about divorce vary greatly, but most people can agree on this: it always hurts. What would Jesus speak into the middle of an easy divorce culture that leaves broken homes and broken people in its wake?

Matthew 5:27-30; 1 Peter 2:11; Romans 13:13-14; Ephesians 5:25-27 - Jesus' countercultural teaching about lust and adultery shows us what it looks like to be His apprentices in the midst of a culture that is more sexualized yet less satisfied than ever.

Matthew 5:17-20; Luke 24:25-27, 44-45; John 5:39, 45-46; 2 Peter 3:15-16 - The Bible is loved by some, hated by others, and misunderstood by many (most?). What did Jesus say about the Bible, and what should a follower of Jesus do with it today?

1 Corinthians 15:1-26 - Easter is celebrated in one way or another by most in our culture. However, the true meaning of this day is often missed. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not merely something to be remembered one day a year; it is good news that has power to change every day of the rest of your life.

Matthew 5:13-16 - The lives of Jesus' followers should be like salt and light: distinct, useful, and good.

Matthew 5:1-12; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21; Acts 5:40-42 - Jesus teaches His followers to seek the well-being of others, even when met with hostility. Thankfully, we don't have to do this on our own. After all, this is the very thing He's already done for us.
