The Sermon on the Mount, one of the most influential portions of the Bible, is the most studied and commented upon portion of the Christian Scriptures. Every Christian generation turns to it for insight and guidance. In this volume, a recognized expert on the Gospels shows that the Sermon on the Mount offers a clear window into understanding God's work in Christ. Jonathan Pennington provides a historical, theological, and literary commentary on the Sermon and explains how this text offers insight into God's plan for human flourishing. As Pennington explores the literary dimensions and theological themes of this famous passage, he situates the Sermon in dialogue with the Jewish and Greek virtue traditions and the philosophical-theological question of human flourishing. He also relates the Sermon's theological themes to contemporary issues such as ethics, philosophy, and economics.

In this twelve-session LifeGuide® Bible Study, you'll dig deep into his startling and challenging message--the greatest sermon ever preached.

Study guide designed to accompany a Bible study course on the Sermon on the mount.

Jesus concluded His Sermon on the Mount by saying, "Everyone who hears these sayings of mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who builds his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall." A generation that has either ignored or attempted to explain away "these sayings" of Jesus now teeters toward destruction, buffeted by the winds of human philosophy and floods of dissipation. Its epitaph may well prove to be: "Great was its fall." Earnhart says, "For this reason it is the more urgent that we look often and carefully at the one sermon of God's Son which perhaps more than any other defines the very essence of the kingdom of heaven. Here, if we listen humbly, our lives can be transformed, our spirits refreshed, our souls saved." Few preachers of our generation have studied the Sermon on the Mount as intensively or spoken on its contents so frequently and effectively as Paul Earnhart. His excellent and very readable written analysis appeared first as a series of articles in Christianity Magazine. By popular demand it was published in a single volume in 1999. Now, DeWard Publishing Company is thrilled to make this wonderful material available again so that it will continue to be preserved, circulated, and read by those who would not have otherwise had access to it.

Sermon on the Mount (Precepts for Life Study Guide: black and white version) Early in His ministry Jesus passed through the region of Galilee teaching in synagogues, preaching "the Gospel of the kingdom," and healing every kind of sickness. As news of these miracles spread rapidly to several other regions, people brought their desperately sick relatives and friends to Him. When He healed all of them, a huge crowd began to follow Him. At a strategic point, He headed up a mountain overlooking the Sea of Galilee to teach them what has become known as the "Sermon on the Mount." Now what exactly did He say that was so important to such a vast audience and to us today? You'll discover what He said in these ten programs: 1. Who the religious authorities in His day were 2. Why you should choose Jesus to be your authority 3. How "sons of God" live in our age of darkness-what they value, how they think, and what they do. 4. What God has planned for His sons both in this life and in the next Throughout this Sermon Jesus presses the point that His Father is creating a kingdom of sons of light to invade, lighten, and conquer darkness for all eternity. Join us in this exciting study to learn all it means to be a son of God, to be all in for God "so that you may be sons of your Father in heaven."
