New Sermon Series: A Beginer’s Guide to the Kingdom of Heaven
All Gospels have signature stories. For the Gospel of Matthew, it is found in the large block of Jesus’s teaching in chapters 5-7, called “Sermon on the Mount.” Following Amy-Jill Levine’s book, Sermon on the Mount, we will re-examine the essence of Jesus’s teachings. We will hear the Jewishness of Jesus’s words and understand them in the light of the first century Jewish context to which Jesus spoke. Professor Levine writes, “if we get Jesus’s context wrong, we’ll get him wrong. More, if we get the context right, we can find even more meaning in his words.”
