You Have Heard it Said

We continue further into the Sermon on the Mount this week, right to the center of it in fact. Here Jesus presents us with six sets of "You have heard it said" but "I say" discussions on the law. We could take these restatements of Moses Law, as a new set of rules to apply to our lives. On the other hand, we could see Jesus setting the bar so high to drive home the fact that we cannot keep the law at all, to drive us in despair to the cross. Both of these interpretations may be correct, but there may be a third way, a way that tells us about God and about God's kingdom.

Join us this week as we explore.
