Lesson 330: THE SERMON ON THE MOUNTDEPENDENCE UPON GOD


Full Lesson HERE


INTRODUCTION. In his sermon on the mountainside, Jesus discusses hypocrisy

and self-righteousness in the religious acts of almsgiving, prayer, and fasting (Matt.

6:1-18). These deeds of righteousness are not to be done with false devotion in order to

be seen of men. Rather, the citizens of the kingdom are to perform these acts

sincerely from the heart in order to serve God.

Hypocrisy deceives others, but it is possible for us to deceive ourselves, too. Jesus

continues his sermon, teaching about self-deception (Matt. 6:19-34). The citizens of

the kingdom must guard against deceiving themselves by pretending to trust God

while trusting mammon or worldly things.
