Jesus: provocative, hyperbolic and radical – Sermon on the Mount E2
Download MP3What does Jesus say about anger and lust? Was Jesus intentionally provocative? What's the importance of reconciliation? Join us as we look at Matthew 5.21–30, discussing the new perspective Jesus introduces on anger and lust, as well as his radical challenge to forgive. We also dive into the hyperbolic and provocative nature of Jesus' words and learn more about what it is that he truly values.
