A New Kind of Human

We're currently in a series from the Sermon on the Mount. This is technically the most famous sermon in the history of the world. I've been fascinated with the way it's woven together so beautifully. It's like the DNA of a new creation. Hence, the series title. Jesus is teaching us what it means to be recreated in His image, an image that's been marred by the fall, and stained by our sin. It's a prescription for a radically different way of life, meant to be heard by all, and descriptive of what an abundant life looks like. Jesus is showing us that transformation occurs from the inside out. It begins with a new heart, and progressively over the course of your life you move from "glory to glory." If you follow it through to the end, and allow the Spirit to have His way, you WILL be changed.
