Sermon On The Mount // Pastor Gene Pensiero Calvary Hanford

The Sermon on the Mount is often misunderstood and, thus, misapplied. What Jesus said in verse twenty is a key to how we are to understand and apply His words. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

The Sermon on the Mount promises happiness. The word blessed, repeated so often, means something like, O how happy and to be envied. It means to be truly satisfied. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Who’s dead? Who are we mourning for? I’m going to suggest that it is you, and I, who is dead. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

Even in the Church we don’t always value meekness. There is always a general feeling that we would be stronger, and better equipped to fight our enemies, if Christians were all united. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

We are being conformed, day-by-day, into the image of Jesus by the indwelling Holy Spirit. These beatitudes describe what we are like when we are Christ-like. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)

I am merciful, because it is God’s nature and my new nature. (Pastor Gene Pensiero)
