Based on Matthew 5:20-48, this episode explores Jesus’ call to a righteousness that reaches beyond outward rule-keeping and changes the heart. Through his teachings on anger, reconciliation, lust, marriage, honesty, retaliation, and love for enemies, we’re invited to examine our inner lives and ask the Holy Spirit for the change we can’t create on our own. This series on “The Sermon on the Mount” was presented in Johannesburg, South Africa, to the SID (Southern Africa-Indian Ocean Division) Stewardship Directors Advisory.
