2024-09-08: Pastor Mark Quist – Matthew 5-7 – Everything You Need To Know and More in a 30-minute Jesus Sermon
As we hear Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount this Sunday, he is already preparing our hearts through his already opening words at the beginning of his official ministry, “Repent! For the Kingdom of God is near… Come! Follow me.” As the huge crowds are attracted to Jesus, he teaches them his Way, God’s Way, invites us to follow him. When he sees the crowds, Jesus has compassion on them, because they were ‘harassed and helpless… like sheep without a shepherd.” So Jesus reaches out to all people, invites them into his Kingdom, his Spirit rule, an abundant and eternal life filled with purpose and meaning, “Repent! The Kingdom of God is near… Come… believe in me… receive me… follow me.”
