Matthew 5: 21-32 For Further Discussion Why do you think Jesus would begin this section of the Sermon on the Mount talking about anger and lust? How is lustful intent similar to anger?

Matthew 5: 17-20 For Further Discussion Why would people think that Jesus was interested in doing away with the Law & Prophets (Hebrew Scriptures)? What seems to be His true view of scriptures? What are some ways that Jesus fulfills Hebrew Scriptures? What does the term “righteousness” mean? Can it have negative connotations? How can we help each other be Jesus followers instead of rule followers?...

Matthew 5 - 7 For Further Discussion If you are familiar with it, what comes to mind when you hear “Sermon on the Mount?” Does it seem that our culture is becoming less and less amicable to Christian ideas and living?
