Treasures in Heaven

Weeks 3 and 4 are unavailable due to technical issues with the recordings. Check out the attached document for some notes about our discussion those days.

Reading Matthew 5-7 in sections often leads to thinking of the various PARTS of the sermon as sound bites rather than seeing it within the context of the WHOLE. Jesus used language and rhetoric in a masterful way to lead his listeners into a fresh revelation of the nature and character of God the Father. The reality is, the Sermon on the Mount is less about how we are supposed to behave as Christians and FAR MORE about who God is!

Week 5 Questions:

How does this section of Jesus’ sermon relate back to all the rest?

What does it mean for our eyes to be healthy?

What does he mean that we should “not worry about our life”?

How do we “Seek first the Kingdom”? Where will we find the Kingdom?

Is this a message about idolatry or anxiety? If not, what is the message?
