For Further Discussion & Application:

What are your initial thoughts as we begin our study on the Sermon of the Mount? What is your perception of what Jesus will teach? What are you expecting to hear?

Write out your definition of "Kingdom."

Write out your definition of "Disciple."

How is the idea of Jesus preaching the good news of the Kingdom bigger and grander than the idea of the Christian life as your own personal salvation?

How would this vision of the Kingdom of Heaven prevent me from reducing it to "Me & Jesus" and at the same time motivate me to live all of my life under the authority of King Jesus?
