Matthew 5

Today we are reading Matthew 5. In this chapter we find Jesus sitting on a hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee. His disciples come to Him and He begins to teach, as he does a crowd gathers.“Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down, his disciples came to him. And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew‬ ‭5:1-3‬ ‭ESV‬‬ As Jesus teaches, He speaks about many things that are familiar to His audience. In this way, He builds common ground and when He is finished speaking the listeners will have many reminders of what He taught. How does this “Sermon on the Mount” help you connect to God? What reminders do you see in the world around you? How can you use this same method to share your faith? Pastor Tim
