Episode 43 - Cliff and Scott's Final Reflections on The Sermon On The Mount

In this final episode of our Sermon on the Mount series, we dive deep into Jesus’ transformative teaching and reflect on what it truly means to live out the Kingdom life. Join us as we revisit key moments from the Sermon—The Beatitudes, being salt and light, heart-level righteousness, trusting God, and building our lives on the solid rock of Christ.
We discuss how Jesus’ words continue to challenge modern believers to embrace humility, mercy, and radical love in a world that often values the opposite. Through honest conversation and personal reflections, we explore questions like: What does it look like to seek first the Kingdom? How do we apply Jesus’ counter cultural wisdom in everyday life?
Whether you’ve followed the entire series or you’re tuning in for the first time, this episode offers practical takeaways and spiritual insights to help you deepen your faith and live out Jesus’ call to discipleship.
