THE AFTERWORD | Matthew Season 4 - Week 5

WestGate Church Teaching

The ending of the Sermon on the Mount is wild. Jesus’ most famous set of teachings is not a religious to-do list, but it does have strong implications about how we live. Jesus outlines things that His followers must actually DO, with God’s help, to follow Him. Things like fighting anger and lust, keeping your promises, loving your enemies, quietly giving to those in need, and not judging. And then Jesus ends the whole thing by warning about what happens if you don’t “put into practice” the words He’s just said. Steve Clifford and Jay Kim stop by to talk about the “knowing-doing” gap that exists in all of our lives, and how we can move from a group of Christians that talk about Jesus to a group that lives and loves like Him. Also, we talk about the best Thanksgiving foods, and Steve and Jay offer up some controversial takes on pumpkin pie and cranberries.
