Understand the Bible

Jesus' famous words are all about prayer. But why is it that prayer so often does not feel like what he says - "ask and it shall be given"? Why do so many people find prayer such a struggle? Jesus' words are here to encourage us to pray.

People often take the phrase 'do not judge' to mean that we shouldn't ever criticise anyone else. But that's not what Jesus intended us to understand. Instead, this is about how we relate to others and deal with sin - especially within the church.

In this, one of Jesus' most famous teachings, he says that we should not worry. But what does that mean? How do we put this into practise in our lives? How do we trust God instead of worrying?

Jesus turns from authentic religion to how we should live in the rest of our lives. In this passage Jesus says that we should store up treasure in heaven, rather than treasure on earth. But what does that mean?

In the third and final example of authentic religion, Jesus talks about fasting. In this sermon we think about what fasting is and whether it should be a regular part of our lives as Christians. We also think about what, in summary, Jesus wants us to learn about authentic religion.

Last week we started thinking about how Jesus wants us to be authentic in our religion - not like the hypocrites. This week, he talks about prayer. What does it mean to pray authentically, not like the hypocrites?

In this chapter, Jesus turns to how we live out our devotion to God. We should live authentically as Christians who want to honour God, rather than as the hypocrites who only want praise from other people.

This is Jesus' final set of examples and conclusion of his teaching about the law in the Sermon on the Mount. He talks about oaths, revenge, and how we should love even our enemies. This teaching really summarises what Jesus wants to say about the law.

How do we obey God in a world where sexual sin is not only tolerated but also in some circles actively promoted? How can we shine as lights in a world where Jesus seems to set the standard so high?

In this passage, Jesus says that he came to fulfil the law. What does that mean? Fortunately Jesus gives some examples, and the first one is murder. Is anger just as bad as murder - and how can we obey?
