PODCAST| Kingdom Virtue On The Mount

[Podcast]

By Pastor Vinnie & Jonathan Martin

it is the final breakdown of their analysis of the Sermon On The Mount Vinnie & Jon focus on virtue. Jesus is calling us to live but His ethics He roles out on the mount and not the ethics of false religions and phony righteousness. 

In this episode, we will explore what it means to judge someone and what is the cost of judging people? We will look up to Heaven and ask hard questions about how we use money and why? We will again return to core principles and come full circle to understand being poor in spirit is to be ready to be rich in Jesus.

In this thrilling conclusion of this three-part series on the sermon on the mount, we see the clearest yet that this is a declaration that the Kingdom of God is based on virtue. Kingdom Virtue is the political stance of Jesus, and he calls all who take His name to stand up and live a life of virtue and not to live in the empty ways of the Pharisees and their times. As we see the high value Jesus puts on virtue in this coming Kingdom we are following the narrow way too it forces us to reconsider our own values and loyalties as we measure our own level of virtue. The picture of the coming Kingdom Jesus presents on his mount is a Kingdom of love, justice, truth, and mercy.

Just as Jesus called His followers at His time to higher virtue He is not calling us all to higher living. He is calling us to live Kingdom Virtue.

PODCAST| Convictions From The Mount

[Podcast]

By Pastor Vinnie & Jonathan Martin

Pastor Vinnie and Jon continue the second part in their three-part series on the Sermon On The Mount. The Sermon On The Mount is not only the most popular sermon Jesus preached it is also one of the most hard-hitting. In this episode, we get deep into come of the convictions Jesus is looking to provoke in this sermon.
Jesus is not pulling any punches in this sermon. He wants us to see that high calling He alone can raise us up to embrace. When we grasp what Jesus is saying in this part of the sermon we are forever changed! This is the core message of Jesus from the mount. It’s about conviction, acceptance, and reframing everything you thought you knew about God and the way the world works.

In his famous book on the Sermon on the Mount Dallas Willard explained interacting with the discord of Jesus from the mount like this;

“Recently a pilot was practicing high-speed maneuvers in a jet fighter. She turned the controls for what she thought was a steep ascent—and flew straight into the ground. She was unaware that she had been flying upside down. This is a parable of human existence in our times—not exactly that everyone is crashing, though there is enough of that—but most of us as individuals, and world society as a whole, live at high-speed, and often with no clue to whether we are flying upside down or right-side up. Indeed, we are haunted by a strong suspicion that there may be no difference—or at least that it is unknown or irrelevant.”  ― Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy: Rediscovering Our Hidden Life In God

As you listen to this episode of the podcast you certainly will be challenged on everything you thought you knew about God and the way he means religion and the world to work. Convictions From The Mount will become more than a title, it will be your experience with Jesus.

PODCAST|The Beatitudes Of Jesus

[Podcast]

By Pastor Vinnie & Jonathan Martin

In this episode, we introduce the Sermon On The Mount with the Beatitudes. In the first part of a three-part series on the Sermon On The Mount, we set the stage for the context of the whole sermon and then start breaking down the deep meaning of each of the Beatitudes. We explore why what Jesus was saying in the Beatitudes was so controversial. Find out how the Beatitudes can help us love God and each other better. As we study the wonder of the beauty of these words of Jesus we are awakened to the deeper and marvelous possibilities for the Church and how we could change the world together!

As continue to study the sermon on the mount we will keep seeing that the Beatitudes are the keys to the whole sermon. Jesus uses the Beatitudes to shock, provoke, and awaken the crowd to the importance of all He is about to say during the sermon on the mount. In fact, the Beatitudes become the template for not only the sermon but also the whole Christian worldview. If this sermon is the apex sermon of Jesus, as I believe it is, then understanding the depth of the Beatitudes is the keys to the Kingdom.

Join Jon and me, in arguably one of our most important Podcast episodes yet as we explore the depths of the Beatitudes of Jesus in his most famous sermon ever. You will be blessed!

“Blessed are the poor in spirit,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 Blessed are those who mourn,
    for they will be comforted.
 Blessed are the meek,
    for they will inherit the earth.
 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
    for they will be filled.

Blessed are the merciful,
    for they will be shown mercy.
 Blessed are the pure in heart,
    for they will see God.
 Blessed are the peacemakers,
    for they will be called children of God.
 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
    for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
