The Sermon on the Mount, which includes the infamous Beatitudes, is not TO us. Unfortunately, most Christians still think they are teachings they should try to fulfill in their walk of a Christian. They ought to look at what Paul says about the same 'subjects.' Once again, we see how "Christians" are being cheated out of what the Risen Christ teaches TO us today, through Paul.

We begin this series by looking through the Beatitudes. We look at verses 1-4 -- there is SO much more from Paul's Epistles! What the Jews had to consider was all based on their works -- plus it was all to deal with the kingdom of heaven while Paul's concern is the kingdom of God! Click here for written notes. |

We look at verses 5,6 -- meekness today? Must we turn our other cheeks -- and cower down as a Christian toward others and agree with them to keep peace? If you think so, you will be surprised! Click here for written notes. |

We continue by looking through more Beatitudes. We look at verses 7,8,9 -- Must we show mercy in order to receive mercy today? Does keeping peace in the world / home / community, etc. actually make us a Christian? Must we make a pure heart BEFORE we can 'see' God? We can certainly see that the Risen Christ taught 'more' to the Christian today then he did to the Jews during the times of the Gospels. So why do folks still insist on going back to the Gospels for their doctrine today? Click here for written notes. |

For whose sake? We look at persecution in the Gospels compared to what Paul says about persecution today. In this first session, we see for whose sake these things were done. Click here for written notes. |

Are You 'Troubled' Properly? Let's look and see if we are to be 'persecuted' today -- and if not, why not; or if so, how so? Paul makes some very good comments about persecution for us today. If you think we are not to 'suffer' today -- then that just may be the very reason you are not getting anywhere in your growth as a Christian. Click here for written notes. |

Persecution verses "to" the Tribulation age that are falsely preached today Are we called to suffer like the suffering warned about in the Gospels? How about the persecution Peter talked about in his writings? No -- am I sure of that? Yes! If one rightly divides the word of truth, we see that suffering and persecution like the Gospels and Tribulation is not necessary for the 'serious' Christian today. Also, can folks suffer persecution for the false gospel? They sure can -- and what a waste that would be, eh! Click here for written notes |

Salt of the earth today? Are Christians today really considered the salt of the earth? By looking closely at what Paul says about salt, you will be surprised as to who/what the salt is to be today! Click here for written notes |

The light of the world today? Who or What is the light of the world today? Is it Jesus Christ? What did Jesus mean when he said, "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world?" Knowing that Jesus is no longer in the world, who / what is the light? Is it the Gospel Jesus, Jews, any modern Bible, King James Bible, people's good works, the apostle Paul, the Risen Christ, etc.? Whatever / whoever that light is, how would you hide it under a bushel today? What must folks 'see' today to see that light? What works do we do that glorify God -- Gospel teachings of Jesus or the teachings of Paul? Click here for written notes |

Fulfil Have we 'changed' the law at all? Of course not, but knowing that Christ has fulfilled the law, what does that do concerning the 'law' today? Click here for written notes |

Righteousness / 'change' / Raca vs Fool Our righteousness vs God's -- is there a difference? Is there any 'change' in Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation? Calling someone a fool can send you to Hell? Click here for written notes |

Family altars? agreeing with your adversary? more 'changes' from old time to Jesus' time to our time through Paul's. We see again and again the differences from the Beatitudes and Paul's teachings! Click here for written notes |

Jesus 'changed' the way of God more perfectly from the Old Testament when he told his followers how to deal with the enemy during the Gospel times. Then, as the Risen Saviour, we see how he tells us to deal with the 'enemy' today. There is a difference. We are not to deal with the enemy today the way Jesus told his followers to deal with the enemy then. The reason 'Christianity' has gone the way it has is because Christians today are trying to deal with the 'enemy' in the wrong manner. Learn from Paul -- and the risen Saviour -- how to deal with the enemy today. You might be surprised what God actually expects of you when it comes to folks who are changing the truth into a lie today. Acts 13:10: "And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?" The ways of the Lord today are the ways of Paul! I Corinthians 4:17: "For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church."

Secret Alms; Secret Prayer; Forgiveness Are there differences in what Jesus taught to his disciples compared to what He taught Paul to teach to us when it comes to alms, prayer and forgiveness? We also do a special emphasis on the Lord's Prayer by looking at other versions -- we can tell the flavour of modern Christianity by looking at their materials. Click here for written notes |

Fasting Do we have to fast for when times get tough, etc.? What does fasting even mean? Is what Jesus told the apostles and Jews the same that He has taught to us through Paul? Does your Christian daily walk look like a painful fast to others? Do you want to go on a 'fast?' Here are some thoughts for you to consider. Click here for written notes |

The treasures of our hearts today Does Paul say the same thing about where our treasures are, so is our heart? Answer: Nope! What about our heart today? What does Paul have to say about our earthly treasures when compared to the heavenly ones? What verse tells us how God would direct our hearts today? Learn about your heart and how to not allow it to be deceived. Click here for written notes |

Take no thought for our life, eat, drink, clothes, today? Jesus tells everyone who wants to follow him to sell all -- and not to worry about anything -- that God will provide. Is that true today? Was he just talking to HIS Jews then? What does the Risen Jesus Christ teach us today? This is a two-part sermon - part II follows next. Click here for written notes |

I couldn't get it all done in the Sunday School hour, so we continued & finished during this portion of our morning. We started this with what the Risen Saviour says to us through Paul about whether or not we should take no thought about our life, eat, drink, clothes, etc. today. We even touched on the opportunity the Jews had concerning the kingdom of God. They rejected it thus we have it offered to us as Gentiles today. |

Judge not? A beam in your own eye? The classic complaints -- Who are you to judge me? Judge not, that ye be not judged! Who made you judge, anyway? Did Jesus really tell his people not to judge anyone / anything? Does Paul say the same thing? Click here for written notes |

Judge not? Who are the dogs and the swine in America? Do we take what Paul says from the Risen Saviour and the King James Bible to the dogs and swine of America? To whom would that be to? Does Paul tell us not to judge? Read on and listen to the three parts and learn the truth about judging others -- do we or do we not -- and if so, how, and if not, why not? |

Ask and it shall be given -- really? Today? Is this a promise from God to us for answer to prayer? Are there 'reasons' that we don't get these verses answered to us today? Are we at fault? Are we that lousy of a Christian that God doesn't fulfill His promise in these verses? We compare what Jesus said to the apostles with what the Risen Jesus Christ said to us through Paul today and we look at the kind of 'stones' fathers today give to their children. This is not necessarily a 'Father's Day' message, but it can be if you want it to be. :-) Click here for written notes |

Is the gate really all that strait? Is the way really all that narrow? False prophets, false fruits or the real thing? The fruit from following the Risen Saviour, through Paul in your King James Bible Those titles ought to give you an idea of what we 'clear up' when we compare what Jesus said to the apostles with what the Risen Jesus Christ says to us through Paul today!

"I never knew you: depart from me..." Here is a very 'famous' set of verses often used to scare Christians about losing their salvation. Is this a serious and fearful verse to us today? Do you ever need to fear that God will ever say, "I never knew you?" Not at all. See how these verses are nothing to fear today. Click here for written notes |
