Introducing Our Sermon on the Mount Study | Kingdom Life: from the Inside Out | Footnotes Podcast

This week on the Footnotes Podcast, we’re giving you an introduction to our upcoming Sunday School series through Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. Before we begin working verse-by-verse through Matthew 5–7, join us as we discuss the purpose, audience, and significance of one of the most powerful sermons ever preached. What did Jesus mean by the Beatitudes? Who was the Sermon on the Mount written for? How should Christians understand and apply these teachings today? Whether you’re part of Harvest Baptist Church or simply looking to grow in your understanding of Scripture, this episode will help prepare your heart and mind for a deeper study of what it means to live under the reign of Christ. Grab your Bible, read Matthew 5–7, and join us as we begin a journey through Jesus’ teaching on Kingdom Life from the Inside Out. #SermonOnTheMount #Matthew5 #SundaySchool #BibleStudy #kingdomlife Chapters 00:00 Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount Series 00:24 How Should We Read and Teach the Sermon on the Mount? 02:05 Why Jesus' Sermon Requires Deeper Study 04:28 Naming the Series: "Kingdom Life from the Inside Out" 07:03 Who Was the Sermon on the Mount Written For? 07:53 The Social Gospel View Examined 10:29 Is the Sermon on the Mount Just an Explanation of the Law? 12:04 The Future Kingdom-Only View 13:57 Why the Sermon on the Mount Still Matters Today 15:21 Understanding the "Already, But Not Yet" Kingdom of God 17:35 The Sermon on the Mount as a Picture of Kingdom Living 19:11 Why Christians Should Study and Live the Sermon on the Mount 19:38 The Beatitudes and Our Need for Salvation 21:06 The Blessed Life According to Jesus 22:08 How Kingdom Living Impacts Communities 24:05 Where to Start Reading in Matthew 5–7 26:08 Why the Beatitudes Deserve a Deep Dive 27:20 Final Thoughts and Looking Ahead to the Series 28:07 Closing Remarks Sunday School | 10:00am Sunday Morning Worship | 11:00am Sunday Evening Service | 6:00pm Prayer Meeting, Youth Group and Patch Club - Wednesday | 7:00pm Albany, OR 🌎 website: hbcalbanyor.com 📷Instagram: hbcalbany 💻Facebook: HBCalbany
