The Sermon On The Mount Part 1

Jesus gives three calls in the Sermon on the Mount: 1) Come follow me to a higher life, entering God's kingdom through being born again and living under Jesus' leadership. 2) Live a life of radical obedience with Jesus in authority. 3) Draw near to Jesus, becoming a disciple rather than just a follower in the crowd, as His presence enables living righteously.
