Adult Forum-The Sermon on the Mount: Jesus’ Masterclass on the Way of Peace

The Reverend Noah H. Evans

Sundays in Lent – March 1, 8, 15 & 22 at 9:45 AM in the Undercroft

Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount appears in chapters 5-7 in Matthew’s Gospel. It is not just filled with lofty ideals, but also a masterclass in faithful, grounded Christian living. Across four weeks, we will listen as Jesus reshapes our imagination about power, love, forgiveness, generosity, and peace. In a world formed by anxiety, division, and retaliation, Jesus offers a different way: a life rooted in trust in God, compassion for neighbor, and courageous peacemaking. Together, we will explore how these teachings speak to our daily choices, our relationships, and our calling as disciples—inviting us not only to admire Jesus’ words but to practice them and, in doing so, discover the deep freedom and peace of life in God’s Dream.
