We close the Sermon on the Mount series with Jesus' most frightening words. So which is it--have you built your house on the sand or on the Rock?

The only thing worse (and more dangerous) than a false prophet is the recognition that I might be a false prophet. And maybe you are, too?"Take My Life" written by Chris Tomlin, Frances Ridley Havergal, Henri Abraham Cesar Malan, and Louie Giglio. © 2003 sixsteps Music (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing)worshiptogether.com songs (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing).

I wish we didn't call it the "golden rule." Rules are so lifeless and colorless. Matthew 7:12 offers a much fuller and deeper hope for the Christian trying to follow Jesus.

We are anxious about scarcity. As it turns out, we have the power to create it."Love Can Change the World" written by Aaron Niequist. ©2005 AARONieq Music.

I can't serve both God and money? Really?

Have we forgotten of why we fast? Fasing is a God-given resource to help us break the addiction to ourselves.[Due to a technical difficulty beyond our control, the recording of this podcast was interrupted. As a result, the entire sermon is not available. We apologize for the inconvenience.]

Christ helps us to see the power and potential of praying for the gathering of believers known as the Church.

Jesus teaches us to pray, and if we're listening closely enough, we'll hear something that challenges most of what we've heard about prayer. For example, prayer has less to do with us than we thought."Here's My Heart" written by Chris Tomlin, Jason Ingram, and Louie Giglio. © S. D. G.

What is prayer? What motivates our praying, and what can we expect when we pray?

Why do we give? As a matter-of-fact, what is the motivation behind any of our religious movements?[Due to a technical difficulty, there is a 20 second section missing from this podcast. We apologize for any inconvenience]

We are called to be perfect as our Heavenly Father is perfect. Jesus is talking about love, and we need to listen."Love Can Change The World" written by Aaron Niequist. ©2005 AARONieq Music

When Christ tells us to turn the other cheek or walk the second mile, He's not just talking about good behavior. Christ hopes, through us, to offer our society a new reality known as the Kingdom."Love Can Change The World" written by Aaron Niequist. ©2005 AARONieq Music.

The Kingdom has been launched in Christ, and we, the Body of Christ, are called to live out these Kingdom ethics now, as we anticipate the time when God will complete all things. So we are to regard others so highly and love them so deeply that we will honor them with the truth, letting our Yes's be Yes's, and our No's, No's.

The God of Covenant aches for us to be people of Covenant. But when our covenants fail, Christ offers hope, healing, and living water."All Is Grace" written by Shaun Groves. © 2011 Simplicity Street Music (Admin. by Shaun Groves). Used and streamed by permission. CCLI License #49156

In the Kingdom that is now and not yet, Jesus shows us the beauty and the value of covenants."Lord I Need You" written by Christy Nockels, Daniel Carson, Jesse Reeves, Kristian Stanfill, and Matt Maher. © 2011 sixsteps Music (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing)Sweater Weather Music (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing)Thankyou Music (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing)Valley Of Songs Music (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing)worshiptogether.com songs (Admin. by EMI Christian Music Publishing).

God is looking for art and artists.
