Hello Again, A heads up on this episode the audio was through the mic on the recorder so there are some background noises.

As Jesus talked about murder and said "You have heard it said..." "but I tell you" was he replacing the current law or building on it for us. Getting to the heart of the law and creating in us a reality of his fulfilling the law and how we dwell with him in his kingdom?

When Jesus declares that his followers ARE salt of the earth and light to the world what is he getting at? With these declarative statements Jesus is calling us into his mission into life in the kingdom.

What does Jesus mean when he says that "I have not come to abolish the law and the prophets but to fulfill them." ? This week we dive into Matt 5:17-20.

A question to ponder is why do we think that Jesus wipes out the OT if he says that he doesn't? What does it mean to fulfill?

This week we wrap up the beatitudes and onder why Jesus ends the blessings with a direction about persecution. As well there is a video that is used in the sermon that was subtitled and can be found on thealliancecanada.ca website. It is and interview between Rev. Darren Herbold and Alexander.

Jesus is revealing what we need to know about Kingdom Life. He is the light revealing the truth of life and life in the kingdom. Lets take a look at what Jesus reveals to us in middle 3 beatitudes found in Matthew 5.

What are the beatittudes and what does the word mean. In modern terms what does it mean to be blessed? lets take a look at the first 3 beatitudes found in Matthew 5.

This week we start our series on the Sermon on the Mount. We are looking at Matthew 5:1-2 and Matthew 7:24-29. What Jesus does at the beginning and what response he calls us to. The summary of the sermon is Jesus asking "Will you follow me?"

We join Paul in Acts 26 for the third court trial. There are so many echos of Jesus own trials in these chapters and that is because Paul has Jesus at the centre of his defence. This time before Aggripa and Bernice, Paul speaks about the resurrection from the dead. He moves from talking about his beliefs his theology to his experience. He goes from thoughts to testimony of his experience of the Resurrected Jesus. Let's dive in together.
