Sermon On The Mount Episodes

Dr. Bill is going through the Sermon on the Mount. It is a passage that is very familiar to a modern audience, in fact, so familiar that we have stopped asking the deeper question.

The Sermon on the Mount 34: The Law versus Jesus (pt 4)

Welcome to Gospel Rant. Dr. Bill is continuing on this eye-opening radical journey through the Sermon on the Mount (not a sermon or a mount). We are at Matthew 5:17-20. What did Jesus--and what are we today to make of the Law? There is a lot of misunderstanding related to Jesus and his view of the Law. Jesus loved the Law. He wrote it. Jesus' view of the Law is wildly sophisticated. The problem is that what he did was too good to believe. You will see what we mean.See omnystudio.com/listener for...

The Sermon on the Mount 14: The Calling of the Disciples

There are two passages that have challenged and shaped the passion and calling of Gospel App Ministries--and of course The Gospel Rant.

Both sections are oozing with his power. Our expectations are that as we jump in the deep end, we will be exposed to his creative power--all of us who come to that hillside, hold up empty needy...
