Jesus said that the greatest commandment was to love God with all our heart, mind, soul and strength, and the second is to love our neighbor as ourselves.

Today's lesson from the Sermon on the Mount may be a little difficult to take. At best, it is a very convicting passage. But we will look at how God's grace shines through in the words of Jesus to show to us, sinners saved by grace, just how much we need a savior.

Jesus said that we are salt and light. But what do these things mean to us today?

This week we begin to look at Jesus' teaching, and we start with the Beatitudes. These proverb-like blessings hold the key to life in the kingdom of Heaven, a central theme to Jesus' teaching, especially in Matthew's gospel.
