In our sermon study today, Jesus addresses more than our physical hunger. Jesus has just fed over 5000 with 2 fish and 5 loaves and these people chase after Him for more from His hand. I wonder today how many of keep seeking Jesus as a Genie in a bottle! Jesus says He is the bread of life that brings to us more than daily food, but will a hunger that is spiritual. Jesus is the bread that brings life more abundant. Regardless, we are all eternal beings. You will either receive and accept this bread that leads to eternal life with Christ or not and be separated for all eternity from a loving holy God. He/she who has ears come and hear today!

Jesus comes at us not to address our behavior so those may change. As we close this series, Jesus has been addressing Lordship in our walk. Who do you truly serve as Master? Love will always expose who or what has your affection, devotion, commitment, loyalty, and honor. There are dangers in thinking you can keep 2 lovers. There are dangers in thinking you can serve 2 masters. Today we address these specifically in our last sermon in this series. Come and hear the word of God!

Your private walk with God will determine the kind of house that you are building. Today we discover the truths of what Jesus is addressing with the wise and foolish builder. The difference is found in our response to the word of God. The prerequisite to be a wise builder is obedience. Come and hear the word of the Lord.

One of the hardest verses, comes at the end of Jesus’s sermon on the Mount. Today we peer into the 2 confessions that are made. Only 1 of these will lead to eternal life with Jesus Christ. Today we will discover 3 truths to help us work through these 2 confessions and make sure we are in the will of the Father. Come and hear the word of the Lord today.

Jesus puts out some warnings to us about false teachers, but also a warning of bad fruit. No one is good a part from Jesus Christ. Abiding in Christ and you will bear good fruit because of the good Root. Today we deal with 3 truths that Jesus gives to us: #1: The root actually determines the fruit, #2: False roots can produce artificial fruit, and #3: The fruit reveals the final judgment. Come and hear the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus ends His sermon on the Mount with choices. These choices will lead us to a final destination. Today, we discover that Jesus identifies 2 gates that have 2 roads with 2 different crowds and lead to 2 different destinations. What gate you choose to enter will determine the road and destination. Can we get off the wide and easy road? Yes we can! But we must then go through the narrow gate with a difficult path. The Christian life is not easy! It’s fraught with difficulty. Salvation is not hard. We are saved by God’s grace at the expense of Jesus Christ. It is His work at Calvary and tomb that brings us salvation. The hardship is taking this gate and road that is contrary to the nature of sin and the wisdom of the world. Come and hear the word of the Lord! Let it penetrate your soul, that you may examine what gate you have entered.
