Sermon on the Mount: 4-Week Series

A new 4-week youth ministry series exploring Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount and how His teachings turn the world’s values upside down.  Jesus didn’t come to give us a list of surface-level rules or show us how to blend in with the crowd. Instead, He invites us into an upside-down Kingdom. His teachings call us to live differently — not just in our actions, but deep in our hearts. In this series, we’ll discover how Jesus challenges us to live with authentic faith, shining His light in a dark world, and building our lives on what truly lasts: Lesson 1: Jesus teaches us to live differently from the world. Lesson 2: We can spread God’s love and shine His light in a dark world. Lesson 3: Jesus wants us to follow Him with a true and honest heart. Lesson 4: When we build our lives on Jesus, we are strong and secure.
