The Sermon on the Mount 2: Dare to be Different

"Do not be anxious about tomorrow." "Seek first the kingdom." "Ask, seek, knock." The crowds were amazed at Jesus' teaching, and they still are.

The Sermon on the Mount 2: Dare to Be Different is a 12-lesson Courageous Living workbook by Wilson Adams covering Matthew 6:22 through 7:29.

How This Study Helps

Worry, divided loyalty, a critical spirit, and self-deception quietly undermine many Christians. Jesus addressed each one directly in the second half of His sermon.

This study finishes the sermon passage by passage: the healthy eye, serving one master, the subtle enemy of worry, judging others, asking and seeking, the golden rule, the narrow way, false prophets, the danger of self-deception, and the wise man who built on the rock. It closes with the question the crowds asked: who is this preacher?
