Sermon On The Mount, Matthew 5-7: Your 8-Minute Bible
With Jess BielmanThe Sermon on the Mount is one of the most influential teachings in human history because it speaks not only to what we do, but to the kind of people we are becoming. In these teachings, Jesus invites us beyond surface level religion and into a deeper life shaped by mercy, humility, reconciliation, trust, integrity, forgiveness, and love. This series is designed to help you slowly and prayerfully engage these passages through short moments of scripture, silence, reflection, and contemplation. I hope that these sessions become small spaces where you can quiet the noise of daily life, listen for the voice of God, and allow the teachings of Jesus to gently reshape your heart and way of living in the world.
Encountering the Spirit in Jesus's most important teaching.
