A Deeper Look at the Sermon on the Mount: Twelve Sessions for Groups and Individuals: Living out the Way of Jesus
Overview
A deep look at Scripture—God’s very words—is never wasted. In fact, not only is it never wasted; it’s richly rewarded. The more deeply we dive into the riches of the Bible, the more deeply we can experience and serve God, the giver of all truth, wisdom, love and understanding. Drawn from John Stott’s Sermon on the Mount LifeGuide Bible Study and his The Message of the Sermon on the Mount commentary, A Deeper Look at the Sermon on the Mount will help you discover • how powerful meekness is • how you can influence the desolate places of society (hint: it has to do with character) • how to experience God’s law as delightful • how to treat your enemies and much more.
