Summer on the Mount #2 - Love Enemies

Summer on the Mount
Written By Kurt Willems
 

Description

In our series, Summer on the Mount, you’re invited to discover the challenging and life-giving teachings of Jesus. We’ll see that followers of Jesus are called to create an expression of community that contrasts with many of the core values of cultures throughout history. The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ manifesto for what it means to live in the kingdom of God, here and now. This isn’t a mere list of dos and don’ts, but an invitation to allow God’s grace and love to shape us inwardly so that outwardly we put God’s way of life into action. Come prepared to be encouraged and challenged by the radical teachings of Jesus as we spend a Summer on the Mount together.
