This Week at 4:12
4:12 Student Ministry
Tonight:
Tonight at 4:12 we kick off a new series looking at the sermon on the mount! Jesus teaches that that God cares about the heart not just our actions. Tonight we talk about How Jesus came not to cancel out the Old Testament but to fulfill it. That Jesus gives us his righteousness and he takes on our sin. And that this is not just doing the right things, but God looks at our heart, desires and what we think.
- Key Scriptures: Matthew 5v17-20, Micah 6v8
- Bottom Line: Jesus came to be what we could not living a life that met God’s standard. Jesus cares about our heart and our actions.
