Why Jesus Didn't Abolish the Old Testament | Matthew 5:17-20 | Brent Nussbaum

Welcome to Week 3 of our 12-week series, Sermon on the Mount: A Upside-Down Kingdom. In Matthew 5:17-20, Jesus makes a surprising statement: He did not come to abolish the Law and the Prophets but to fulfill them. What does that mean for Christians today? Pastor Brent explores the dangers of both legalism and lawlessness, explains how the entire Old Testament points to Jesus Christ, and reminds us that true righteousness is found not in our own efforts but in Christ alone. Key Topics: • Jesus fulfilled the Law and the Prophets • The difference between legalism and grace • Why the Old Testament still matters • Teaching others to love God and love people • How all Scripture points to Jesus • Why our righteousness must come from Christ Series: Sermon on the Mount – An Upside-Down Kingdom Week 3 Text: Matthew 5:17-20 If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear the good news of Jesus Christ.
