Who Is Your Audience (19 of 32)
Series: Sermon on the Mount
Robert Dawson
Matthew 6:1-18
Some of you may have forgotten --- before we launched into an 8-9-week study on marriage - we had been working our way through the greatest sermon ever preached, Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount.
Before we dive back in I want us to take just a minute or two and familiarize ourselves again with the flow of Jesus’ sermon so you can have some sense of where we are in the sermon and how our passage for the day fits into the sermon’s big picture.
In the very first part of this sermon Jesus describes for us what a citizen in God’s Kingdom should look like, on the inside.
1. He doesn’t start with a to-do list but a to-be list.
2. He lists for us attitudes that should be present in our lives. We call them the beatitudes because they are the attitudes that are to be.
3. In doing that He tells us what type of person will experience the approval and blessing of God in their lives.
After describing and detailing what type of person we should be He begins to show us how these beatitudes will look in action and the impact it will have not only on us but those around us.
1. He calls us to be salt and light in this world.
2. He reminds us of the influence that we will exert on this world through Gospel living and Gospel sharing (5.13-16).
Our faith is to be lived out in HD full and living color for everyone to see.
1. There should be something attractive about the life that we live.
2. There should be something inviting to others as they see our faith in action.
3. We should live in such a way that one’s life would not make sense if God did not exist.
Today, we are going to see that Christianity is not just about doing the right thing but doing the right thing the right way and with a right heart.
Jesus is going to challenge us on a level that pushes past what we do to why we do what we do.
1. Jesus, as always, deals with more than our actions.
