    IN THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST--8

    Send a text At Caesarea Philippi, Peter confesses that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus then foretells His suffering, rejection, death, and resurrection, rebuking Peter when he resists the idea of a suffering Messiah. He teaches that true discipleship requires self-denial, taking up one’s cross, and following Him. Gaining the whole world is worthless if one forfeits the soul, and allegiance to Christ now determines honor or shame when He comes in His Father’s glory.

    IN THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST--7

    Send a text Jesus enters Capernaum and teaches in the synagogue with striking authority, casting out an unclean spirit and astonishing the people. He heals Simon’s mother-in-law and many who are sick and demon-possessed, revealing both power and compassion. Rising early to pray, He resists the pressure to stay and instead travels to preach throughout Galilee. Finally, He cleanses a leper, touching the untouchable, but the man’s public testimony spreads the news so widely that Jesus can no longer enter towns openly.

The Sermon concludes with the parable of the wise and foolish builders, underscoring that those who hear and obey His words stand firm when life’s storms come. The chapter ends with the crowds astonished, recognizing that Jesus taught with authority unlike their scribes. For comments, feedback or prayer requests please write to me at cihclements@gmail.com

    IN THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST--5

    Send a text In Matthew 7:1–14, Jesus warns against hypocritical judgment while calling His followers to honest self-examination. He urges persistence in prayer, assuring us of the Father’s goodness, and summarizes relational righteousness in the Golden Rule: “Do to others what you would have them do to you.” The section concludes with the image of two gates and two paths, pressing the sobering reality that the way to life is narrow and must be deliberately chosen.

    Send a text In Matthew 6:19–34, Jesus calls His followers to reorient their hearts from earthly security to heavenly trust. He contrasts treasures on earth with treasures in heaven, reminding us that where our treasure is, our heart will follow. He then addresses anxiety, urging us not to be consumed by worry over material needs, but to trust the Father who feeds the birds and clothes the lilies. The passage culminates in the call to “seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness,” trusting that everything else will be provided in its proper place.

    IN THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST-3

    Send a text In Matthew 6:1–18, Jesus warns against practicing righteousness for public approval. He addresses giving, prayer, and fasting — not condemning these acts, but exposing the danger of performing them to be seen by others. True devotion, He teaches, is directed toward the Father who sees in secret, and it flows from a sincere heart rather than a desire for applause. At the center of this section is the Lord’s Prayer, which reorients us toward God’s holiness, daily dependence, forgiveness, and trust.

    IN THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST--2

    Send a text In Matthew 5:17–48, Jesus clarifies that He has not come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, bringing it to its intended completion and depth. He then moves beyond external obedience to the inner life of the heart, teaching that anger, lust, dishonesty, revenge, and hatred all reveal deeper spiritual realities. In this section, righteousness is no longer measured merely by outward conformity, but by a transformed heart that reflects the character of the Father — culminating in the call to love even one’s enemies and to “be perfect” as our heavenly Father is perfect.

    IN THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST--1

    Send a text In Matthew 5:1–16, Jesus opens the Sermon on the Mount not with commands, but with blessings — redefining who is truly fortunate in the kingdom of God. He speaks to the poor in spirit, the meek, the merciful, and calls His followers to be salt and light in a world that often resists both. Join me as we listen to the Master describe the kind of life that reflects heaven on earth. For comments, feedback or prayer requests please write to me at cihclements@gmail.com
