Outline of the weeks lessons

• In the midst of the many voices clamoring for our attention today, • these sessions offer a focused opportunity to hear afresh the

teachings • of Jesus. Do the ancient words of Jesus in the Sermon on the

Mount have anything to say to a culture that is bombarded with secularization, relativism, and permissiveness—to name only a few of the challenges we face today? What does it take to live as faithful followers of our Lord in the context of 21st-century North American culture? We will explore these questions and more as we listen again to the words of Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.
