Living as Kingdom People: Making an Impact

Sermon on the Mount Series | Week 03

Introduction to Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount is a powerful and profound teaching of Jesus found in Matthew Chapter 5, 6, and 7. In this sermon, Jesus describes what it looks like to live as a kingdom person in the Kingdom of God, as he talks about internal transformation and the impact it has on our lives and the world around us.

What to Expect in the Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount covers a range of topics, including the Beatitudes, attitudes and hearts of kingdom people, and the importance of making a difference in the world. Jesus emphasizes the need for internal transformation and surrendering our lives to Him, rather than trying to fit into a certain mold before coming to Him.

The Heart of the Gospel

Jesus emphasizes the heart of the Gospel, highlighting the need for spiritual transformation and the reality of being spiritually dead without faith in Christ. The message is clear: we need Jesus not because we are bad, but because we are spiritually dead and separated from God.

As Kingdom people, internal transformation is a crucial aspect of our lives. When we respond to the Gospel and put our faith in Christ, we undergo a process of transformation from the inside out. This transformation is not about fitting into a certain mold before coming to Jesus. Instead, it's about surrendering our lives to Him and allowing Him to change us.

The Heart of the Gospel

Jesus emphasizes the heart of the Gospel, highlighting the need for spiritual transformation and the reality of being spiritually dead without faith in Christ. We don't come to Jesus because we are bad; we come to Him because we are spiritually dead and separated from God. This transformation is an overflow of our hearts, as God changes us from the inside out.

Living Out the Values of the Kingdom

Our lives as Kingdom people should look different. Our spheres of influence, including our homes, churches, and neighborhoods, should all reflect the transformation that God is working in us. It's about living as examples of God's grace and mercy, being salt and light in a dark world, and making a difference that draws people to Jesus.

Making an Impact in the World

As Kingdom people, we are called to make a difference in the world. This means living lives of integrity, kindness, and love, even towards those we may not agree with. It's about reflecting the light of Christ and pointing others to Him through our actions and attitudes. Let's pray for God to work in us and through us to make a lasting impact in our world.
