In his book Becoming Friends,Paul Wadell claims that true Christian worship is dangerous, "far more a risk than a consolation, because true Christian worship initiates us into the stories and practices of a God whose ways are so maddeningly different from our own and, therefore, full of hope."
This morning, we will begin to dig deep into Jesus' foundational teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. A first read might enable us to conclude that it is filled with nonsensical, ridiculous things. What if we instead sought to embrace Jesus' teaching as an invitation to live in maddeningly different ways that provide hope to people around us?
