Apr 1900:45:14Tap to summarizeWhat does it actually mean to follow Jesus—not just outwardly, but from the heart?In this message, we continue through the Sermon on the Mount and see how Jesus raises the standard in a way that challenges all of us. He doesn’t just address our actions—He goes deeper, exposing the motives behind them. From anger and lust to integrity and how we treat others, this isn’t about behavior modification… it’s about heart transformation.If we’re honest, His words can feel impossible. And that’s the point. Jesus is showing us that we don’t just need to try harder—we need a new heart.If He really is King, then His authority matters. This message is an invitation to stop pretending, look beneath the surface, and trust Him to do what only He can do.
