The Sermon on the Mount
The Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5-7, contains some of Jesus most profound and most memorable teachings. What might these teachings have mean to his disciples, and to the others who first heard them? How do they enhance our reading of the rest of the Gospel of Matthew, and how do they speak across the centuries to listeners today? How, if we pay careful attention to his words, does Jesus provide us a road map to living as God would have us live?
In our study resource, “Sermon on the Mount: A Beginner’s Guide to the Kingdom of Heaven”, Dr. Amy-Jill Levine introduces the major topics in the Sermon on the Mount, explains historical and theological contexts, and shows how the words of Jesus echo his Jewish tradition and speak forward to reach hearts and minds today.
This is a perfect class to attend if other activities during the year keep you from attending Adult Sunday School. The class will run through July and August this summer. Don’t fret if you need to miss a week due to other commitments (e.g., vacation)!
Books are available in the church office or in class. You may also purchase a kindle version of the book directly from Amazon.
This class is offered in-person in room #6 and on-line via zoom.
