Publisher's Synopsis
In our polarized world, Jesus doesn't ask which side we are on; he commands us to become Sermon On the Mount Christians. In Being Sermon On The Mount Christians, Dr. James Berger leads the reader into a dynamic experience with Jesus' teaching. He presents a series of devotional studies written in practical language for those seeking a deeper understanding of our call to be disciples. Each chapter ends with "Insight And Action" questions, for further reflection. Whether you are a pastor or student of the Bible, a small-group leader or someone seeking a deeper spiritual experience, you will be challenged to grow stronger in your Christian faith. Beginning with the Beatitudes and spanning Matthew 5,6 and 7, the Savior's words carry an urgency, calling every Christian to live as a disciple. When you take your time and read the message carefully, you may wonder if Jesus was sane at all! His instructions are counterintuitive in our world. Yet they are more relevant than ever. This book is dangerous. It encourages you to take seriously what Jesus tells you to do in his greatest sermon. The book challenges you to ask, "Am I willing to be a Sermon On The Mount Christian?"
