Description: Lessons on Holiness from the Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount may be a well-known portion of Scripture, but how is it meant to impact our lives? In a day when modern society dictates tolerance and conformity to the lowest standards, J. Dwight Pentecost shows how the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7 calls us to a higher standard of living Chapter include:

• "Comfort in Tears (Matthew 5:4)"
• "Blessed Are the Peacemakers (Matthew 5:9)"
• "God's Moral Standard (Matthew 5:27-32"
• "The Unreasonableness of Worry (Matthew 6:25-34)"
• "How to Identify a False Prophet (Matthew 7:15-23)"

Pentecost's devotional study examines the Sermon on the Mount as a design for living - a great book for personal Bible study or sermon preparation!

"We live in a day in which moral foundations of our nation are being shaken. People are questioning the moral and ethical standards by which we have been brought up and have guided our lives. 

This questioning happening today is not new; its as old as the ages. The multitudes who came face to face with the Lord Jesus Christ during His earthly ministry were asking them. It was those specific questions that Christ answered in the Sermon on the Mount. In a day when the moral fiber of our nation is rotting and the foundations are being undermined. we need to be grounded in the standards of the Word of God."
