The Sermon on the Mount may be the most significant oration ever given by anyone in the entire history of the world, with a profound influence on people as wide-ranging as Augustine of Hippo to Mahatma Gandhi, and Leo Tolstoy to Martin Luther King, Jr. But what kind of a sermon is this? Though some have argued that Jesus lays out an impossible ideal or that his words are simply meant to expose our desperate need for God's grace, this sermon captures Jesus' vision for the good life. This is the path to human flourishing. Join us this fall as we begin our series, The Greatest Sermon Ever Told.
Despite our background or familiarity with the Bible, we all have questions about the Christian faith. It has become increasingly more difficult to separate authentic Christianity from its counterfeits and to know where to turn to make sense of how Jesus' message applies to our own lives and to the issues of our day. Christianity is oftentimes twisted and distorted by people with their own agenda, which makes it all the more difficult to figure out who Jesus really is and what he's all about. But what if the true message of Christianity is quite different than what we had always thought? Let's reconsider Jesus, together. Send us your questions at seniorpastor@centralchurchnyc.org.
