Podcasts about Sermon on the Mount

Jesus opens the sermon on the mount by flipping our expectation of "the good life" upside down. In his kingdom, the poor in spirit inherit the kingdom, the mourners are comforted, and the persecuted are blessed. In this sermon, Pastor Adam walks through Matthew 5, showing how the promise of Christ's kingdom subverts our expectations of what blessing is, and transforms our motivation from one of anxiety and fear to one of love and faith.

Today we're sharing Arthur Brooks' keynote from Restore this last weekend. This message was so powerful—it will stop you in your tracks, and feels so essential for this exact moment. We believe it needs to be heard everywhere—in our homes, our communities, and across the country—so we're sharing it with you now.This year we gathered at Utah Valley University for Restore, where just two weeks earlier Charlie Kirk was assassinated while addressing a large crowd. So soon after such horrific violence, the campus itself carried a real weight of grief and uncertainty. Arthur walked straight into that heaviness with so much clarity and conviction—and called us toward a powerful vision of moral courage and discipleship.His message was bold. He confronted unflinchingly what's really breaking us apart—not political division, but the deeper poison of contempt. And then he challenged us with this: Moral courage isn't standing up to the people you disagree with—moral courage is standing up to your own side on behalf of those you disagree with.Arthur says tolerance and civility are too low a bar. The real standard is much higher. It's the Sermon on the Mount. It's loving our enemies—not as a feeling, but as radical, concrete, countercultural action.Arthur wove together science, story, faith, and humor into something deeply personal and urgently needed. His challenge was clear: if we want a different kind of country, we have to become a different kind of people.This felt like a spark. Now the work of discipleship begins. We also want to mention that you can watch this presentation on our youtube channel. Arthur is a super engaging presenter and we strongly recommend that you watch this one. If you bought a ticket for Restore this year, we will email you the recordings as soon we they're edited!

The Sermon on the Mount is the core of Jesus's teaching on how to live with faith.  At once challenging and comforting, Jesus's vision of faith calls us to a radical dependence on God and detachment from all other goods.  At the heart of faith is an unshakable trust in God's infinite love for us.  This conviction frees us to live without fear and to strive for virtue without anxiety.  To have a living faith, however, takes personal prayer: times in which we apply the basic truths of our faith in God to the concrete circumstances and concerns of our current lives.

During his ministry, Jesus repeatedly referred to himself as the Bread of Life. His words would have stirred echoes of the Torah: “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Just as bread sustains the body, the words of the LORD nourish the soul. Yet, Jesus's teachings were not always easy to digest. His words could be unsettling and paradigm-shifting, turning long-held beliefs on their heads. Some who heard him turned away. But Simon Peter recognized the truth. When others left, he confessed, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” In this series, we will dive deep into one of Jesus's most famous teachings, the Sermon on the Mount. We will consider how these words of life nourish us, even as they challenge us, and how we might apply them to our lived stories today. This week, Justin Giboney challenged us to pursue, find, and embody a love supreme, and to walk in the indescriminate love of God that extends to all people, even our enemies.

In this Episode, Lexie, Ian, and Jace continue their discussion on the “sayings” of Jesus but stop down on a discussion of righteousness and Jesus heart behind the sayings.

In this episode I discuss the culture of the Kingdom in light of The Sermon on the Mount and Moses on Sinai.

Week 2 | The Sermon on the Mount (1995)In this sermon on Matthew 5:3–12, Darrell unpacks the Beatitudes, the words with which Jesus opens his famous Sermon on the Mount. Darrell provides some important contextual notes that help us understand the Book of Matthew as a whole and the significance of what Jesus is doing in talking about the kind of people who are “blessed.” Darrell also gives a greater understanding of the important word “blessed” and comes up with “right side up” - those in the kingdom are “right side up” when it comes to how God sees things. He concludes by inviting us to reflect on which of the Beatitudes we might need to pay attention to in our journey of discipleship.⁠The Bible Course⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Darrell's Books⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Give to the Ministry of Darrell Johnson⁠⁠⁠⁠—⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to Darrell's Mailing List⁠⁠⁠⁠Website | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠darrelljohnson.ca⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/darrelljohnson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Josh Hudson preaches through Matthew 6:1-18.

We are still reading through Matthew's account of the Sermon on the Mount, and in today's reading, we begin with what might be one of the most abused quotes in Scripture, which is, “Do not judge, so that you won't be judged.” Often people think the first part is the most important part, and they use it to tell others not to judge them. Jesus' point however is to alert his hearers to hypocritical judgment, calling out the small sins of others while you are dealing with massive sin yourself. What's more, in this same chapter, Jesus tells his hearers to be on guard against false prophets, which would most assuredly require discernment and judgment. The Sermon on the Mount concludes at the end of today's reading. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

from Matthew 6:5-18 Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5-7, we know as The Sermon on the Mount…but it is so much more than just a collection of wisdom and challenge and instruction from Jesus. It is at the heart of it, an invitation from Jesus to consider that there is another way, that there is a better way.

How are you handling your anger? Anger is something we all struggle with—but according to Jesus, it’s more serious than we often realize. In this episode, Pastor Chris Kipp unpacks Jesus’ powerful teaching from the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:17–26), where He connects anger and murder in a way that challenges our hearts. Jesus’ words are both convicting and full of hope, offering a path toward true transformation from the inside out.

On September 28, 2025, Pastor Michael Brunzo continues with the series, The Sermon on the Mount with Part 6. Be blessed as you listen.

In this episode, Pastor RJ continues our journey through the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount, focusing on Matthew 7:1–12. These verses challenge us to live with grace, humility, and a deep trust in the Father's goodness. Jesus paints a picture of Kingdom living that flips the world's values upside down. When we stop judging others, seek God's heart, and treat people the way we want to be treated, we begin to reflect the true nature of His Kingdom. Key Takeaway: Living by Jesus' teachings leads to a firm foundation in life. When we walk in grace, humility, and trust in the Father's goodness, we reflect the heart of the Kingdom. Tune in as we explore what it means to live out the red letters—not just in belief, but in action.

In today's episode, we follow Jesus down the mountain and watch as he encounters a leper. Hint: There's a reason why Matthew included this story as the very first encounter Jesus had after the Sermon on the Mount. You'll love this.

The Divided Mind: Fear, Worry, and Trusting GodIn this episode we trace the path that shaped our latest message in the Sermon on the Mount series. From peanut-butter phobias to deep-end worries, we explore how Jesus' words in Matthew 6 confront both irrational fears and everyday anxieties. Together we ask: what actually helps when worry builds? How do we hold God's promises alongside our human vulnerability? And what does it mean to trust a God who both wants to help and actually can?

A house is only as good as its foundation. The same is true of your life. In Matthew chapter seven, Jesus goes into great detail about making wise choices. If we do what He asks us to do, it will give us a strong foundation that cannot be shaken when the storms of life come our way. Stay with us now as Ron takes us to the final few verses of Matthew chapter seven in his teaching series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.” 

The Sermon on the Mount continues in today's reading, beginning with teachings on giving and praying. In summary, Jesus says to be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them, which flies in the face of most of mankind's posture towards good deeds, because if it didn't happen on social media, why do it, right? He also models how to pray, which falls in line with the posture of humility Jesus continues to preach. Our reading ends with an admonition to trust the Lord with your life and with your possessions, storing up treasure in heaven rather than on earth. No one can serve two masters; you can either love money and dethrone God, or you can love God and dethrone money. And after all, doesn't the Lord create and care for all things, including you? :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

As the new and better Moses, Jesus ascends a mountain and delivers the Word of God, only this time instead of being delivered on stone tablets, God's Word is delivered directly from the mouth of God the Son. This section of Scripture is called “The Sermon on the Mount” and contains highly concentrated dose of Jesus' teachings. Beginning with a section we call “The Beatitudes” Jesus pronounces unexpected blessing upon unlikely people. Later, he declares that he has not come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it, and this he does perfectly, surpassing the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees. With this in mind, Christ enhances portions of the Ten Commandments to include the sins of the heart. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

In this Episode, Lexie, Ian, and Jace discuss the first two of the “Sayings” of Jesus. How does Jesus get to the “heart” of the law? How does he push us to think deeply about the motives of our heart? All this and more as they unpack Matthew 5v21-30!

Paul, Jon, and Liz reflect on the landscape of discipleship, contrasting the boredom of plains with the beauty of high peaks. "One quality of all the high points is perfection. You see it in Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount's 'Be perfect, even as your Heavenly Father is perfect.' In other words, when you do these things, do them really, really well." "Beauty is one of the church's best apologetics." "Really, perfection is a whole style of the New Testament. Like, we're really in this for real. Toyota and Honda really struggled when they brought their plants to America, because they could not reach the perfection the Japanese machinists could reach in terms of clearances on the parts. Americans couldn't get any closer than two 1/100ths of an inch of perfection, and the Japanese got to one 1/100th. Every good trade has these perfections in it. Where are these perfections in Christianity, in our faith? That's what you see in the high peaks."

“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them.” That's Matthew seven, twelve, and this is Something Good with Dr. Ron Jones. It's called the Golden Rule, and it's one of the most well-known teachings of Christ. But what does it look like in day-to-day life? How can we apply it in our marriages? In our communities? In the workplace? Ron offers his thoughts today in his continuing series, “Kingdom Come: Lessons from the Sermon on the Mount.” 

Fr. Mike reads the Sermon on the Mount and explains how Jesus' teachings powerfully fulfill the old testament law, and identify the broken human heart as the source of our sinful actions. We learn that Jesus himself is the remedy to our sins, and that the secret to holiness is living in the perfect will of God. Today's readings are Matthew 5-7, and Proverbs 18:21-24.

Together, with Fr. Mike, we examine the New Law or the Law of the Gospel. Fr. Mike emphasizes that the New Law “fulfills, refines, surpasses, and leads the Old Law to its perfection.” He also explains how the New Law of Christ that is expressed through the Sermon on the Mount is perfected by the grace of the Holy Spirit and works through charity and the Sacraments.
