The Joy-Secure, Now Ekklesia

Preacher:
Passage: Matthew 5:1-16
Service Type:

Judaism had settled into functioning as a religious institution, with clearly defined roles and laws and hierarchy of leadership. Jesus’ arrival on the teaching and miracle circuit, sans consultation with that leadership in Jerusalem caused a bit of consternation. But as his ministry influence grew, the niggling issue of the teacher from Galilee became an all-consuming problem. Rumors flew. Tempers flared. A price was put on his head. His ‘apparent’ disregard for the Law of Moses was flagrant heresy. Elsewhere in Judea, joy and liberation were being celebrated by the growing crowds who were continually being drawn to his preaching and experiencing miracles of healing and deliverance.
