“He Taught Them as One Having Authority” - Come Follow Me

Come Follow Me
February 25-March 3

"The Sermon on the Mount is one of the best-known discourses in Christianity. The Savior taught with rich images, such as a city set on a hill, lilies of the field, and wolves disguised as sheep. But the Sermon on the Mount is far more than a beautiful speech. The power of the Savior’s teachings to His disciples can change our lives, especially when we live by them. Then His words become more than words; they become a sure foundation for life that, like the wise man’s house, can withstand the world’s winds and floods"
This week's study chapters are Matthew 6-7, a continuation of the Sermon on the Mount.  There are probably more memorable teachings in these to chapters than in just about any pair in the scriptures.  "Judge not", "straight is the gate", "forgive men their trespasses", "the light of the body is the eye", "no man can serve to masters", "seek ye first the kingdom of God", and "by their fruits ye shall know them" are just a few of the sayings that so many of us use and think of in our daily lives.
