Matthew 5:17-20; 43-47

This week in the Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Meredith talks about the extensions. The "extensions" in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:17-20, Matthew 5:43-48) are Jesus’ deeper interpretations of the Law, moving beyond mere outward obedience to address the heart's intent. Jesus brings the people back to the core values. He wants to change their hearts not just their behaviors. How can we change in our hearts to love thy neighbor as ourselves? Even the neighbor that doesn't look like you or act like you?
