This inductive Bible study focuses on the words that Christ spoke in His Sermon on the Mount taken from Matthew 5-7. The lessons examine Jesus’ message that challenges on a wide variety of subjects, including the blessing of obedience. The study leads participants to understand their place in God’s kingdom and to be encouraged to live out their faith in Christ. The in-depth fourteen week study asks students to examine their own relationship with the Lord as well as with others in the church. The lessons seek to equip each student to be stronger and more mature in their walk, as well as united with others in the faith.

Suggested Study Format: The study provides a number of options for completing the lessons. The student could complete the observation questions followed by application questions, or complete the remainder of the lesson for an in-depth study. Students could also study only some of the portions of the in-depth lesson beyond the observation questions. When a group is meeting weekly to discuss the lessons, each student will benefit from the review discussion suggested by possibilities in the accompanying leader’s guide.
