One Race - God's Image Bearers
Murder. Hate. Insults. None of these were part of God's original intent. Jesus doesn't raise the bar in the Sermon on the Mount. He reminds people that this is where the bar has always been. Matthew 5:21-26

The Kingdom Present Tense
In this episode, we look at the present tense nature of Jesus' word's of what we call the Beatitudes.

Even more on why the Beatitudes are important for us today.
The Beatitudes are not just ethical teachings. They give us a glimpse into how Jesus is setting up His kingdom and of how it is different than the kingdom of this world.

Why the Beatitudes Matter Today
These weren't just words for a good life. These weren't just words that we're good for motivational cards or posters. These were and are characteristics of those who were and would be citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Isaiah 61 - A backdrop for the Beatitudes
Jesus didn't speak out of a vacuum. He regularly referenced the OT. Why? Because the OT pointed to Him and what He would do and say and teach.

Will you choose Kingdom number 1 or kingdom number 2?
Jesus' entrance into ministry is not necessarily quiet and without fanfare. Crowds are flocking to him....and it's not just for a magic show. He's setting the stage for a major event. The question that he begins to ask though is this, "Which Kingdom are you in?"

The Context of the Beatitudes Matthew 5:1-12
Here's a bit more context as we lead into a discussion of the Beatitudes. They aren't just good ways to live. They are just ethical statements from Jesus. Jesus is introducing something that those hearing him have been waiting and waiting for.

Not Just a Foot Washing - John 13:1-17
Jesus gives an example of what it means to be someone in his Kingdom. Even at a teacher, or Rabbi, Jesus showed us the 'extent of his love" as he takes the position of a lowly and humble servant. He is King...but he serves his people. We are blessed if we do the same.

Search out Jesus...Make a logical decision. John 12:20-36
Here we find some skeptical believers wanting more information about this Jesus figure. They want to talk to him directly. Jesus encourages not only this search for information but also a decision to follow Him.
