    Episode 048 The Sermon on the Mount, part 5

    Have questions or comments? Send me a text! Welcome back to Project 1:8 and our continuing series through the Sermon on the Mount. In our last episode in this series, we looked at Jesus' relationship to the Law and the Prophets. Jesus made it clear that He didn't come to abolish God's law, but to fulfill it. And He challenged His listeners with a startling statement: unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. But what exactly does that kind of righteousness look like? As we move into Matthew chapter 5, verses 21 through 26, Jesus begins to unpack that question. He takes familiar commandments, things His listeners had heard their entire lives, and reveals something much deeper beneath them. You've heard it said, "You shall not murder." But Jesus takes the conversation beyond the physical act and addresses the anger, contempt, and bitterness that can take root in the human heart. He's teaching us that God's concern isn't simply with what we do on the outside. It's with who we are on the inside. Let's open our Bibles to Matthew 5 and take a closer look at what Jesus teaches about anger, reconciliation, and the condition of the human heart.

    Episode 047 The Canon

    Have questions or comments? Send me a text! Welcome back to the podcast from Georgetown Bible Church! Today, we’re tackling a question that gets right to the foundation of our faith: How did we get the Bible we have today? We call the Bible the Word of God, but have you ever wondered how the sixty-six books of Scripture came to be recognized as the Bible? Who decided which books belonged and which didn’t? Why do we accept Matthew, John, and Paul’s letters as Scripture, but not other ancient writings that claim to offer spiritual insight? And does the fact that the church recognized the canon mean the church actually determined what was—and wasn’t—the Word of God? These are important questions, especially in a world where people increasingly challenge the Bible’s authority, its reliability, and even the process by which it came together. In this episode, we’ll explore the formation of the biblical canon, the historical evidence behind the books we have today, the role of the early church, and the difference between recognizing God’s Word and deciding what God’s Word should be. Our goal isn’t simply to defend a list of books. It’s to better understand why Christians have confidence that the Scriptures we hold in our hands are the authoritative Word of God. So, how did we get the Bible—and why should we trust it? Let’s get into it.

    Episode 046 The Sermon on the Mount, part 4

    Have questions or comments? Send me a text! Welcome back to the Sermon on the Mount podcast from Georgetown Bible Church. In our last episode, we explored Jesus’ words about persecution, the call to rejoice even when following Him brings opposition, and His declaration that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Jesus makes it clear that His followers are called to live differently—and that our lives should point people toward our Father in heaven. But that raises an important question: What does that different kind of life actually look like? In Matthew 5, beginning in verse 17, Jesus addresses something that would have been especially important to His original audience: the Law and the Prophets. Did Jesus come to do away with the Old Testament? Was He introducing a new way of relating to God? And what does He mean when He says that our righteousness must exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees? These are important questions, because they get to the heart of what it means to follow Jesus. Is righteousness simply about keeping the rules and looking religious, or is God after something much deeper? Today, we’ll look at what Jesus meant when He said He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it—and how that changes the way we understand Scripture, obedience, and the kind of life God calls us to live. Let’s get started.

    Episode 045 The Sermon on the Mount. Message 2. The Good Life

    Have questions or comments? Send me a text! What does it really look like to live differently in a world that doesn't always reflect the values of God's Kingdom? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus challenges our assumptions about what it means to be blessed, righteous, and faithful. His words aren't simply intended to change the way we think, but to transform the way we live. In this second episode of our series from Georgetown Bible Church, we continue exploring the remarkable teachings of Jesus in Matthew chapters 5 through 7. We'll examine how His words challenge conventional wisdom, reveal the character of God's Kingdom, and call His followers to a life that stands apart from the surrounding culture. The Sermon on the Mount isn't just about what we believe. It's about who we're becoming as followers of Jesus. Welcome back to The Sermon on the Mount, a podcast series from Georgetown Bible Church.

    Episode 046 The Sermon on the Mount – Episode 3 -Targeted

    Have questions or comments? Send me a text! In episode three of our series on the Sermon on the Mount, we explore Matthew 5:11–16, where Jesus challenges His followers to embrace a radically different way of living in the world. Jesus makes it clear that following Him won't always be easy. In fact, persecution, rejection, and opposition may be part of the journey. Yet, remarkably, He calls His followers to rejoice when they suffer for His sake. But Jesus doesn't stop there. He reminds us that we are the salt of the earth and the light of the world, called to make a difference rather than retreat from a world that may reject us. Join us at Georgetown Bible Church as we explore what it means to remain faithful in the face of persecution, live as salt and light, and reflect the character of Christ in a world that desperately needs Him.
