intro to the sermon on the mount (matt. 5:1-2)

today we start the sermon on the mount found in Matthew 5-7

some people have disagreed about whether this is just one sermon of a "best of Jesus collection"  I think it is just one sermon but i can't say for sure.

you will noticed Jesus sat on the mountainside. this wasn't because he was tired this was because sitting was the normal posture for a Jewish rabbi to teach, for example in the Jewish synagogue they would stand to read the scripture to show reverence much like we do at Judson, then would sit in what they called the seat of moses to teach.

as we go through this study you will notice that Jesus is teaching about everyday of his disciple.

i will be referencing my pastor Zach Bartels a lot because he did a sermon series on the sermon on the mount if you would like more from go www.judsonmemorial.org.
