Jesus says that there are two gates: one broad, one narrow; two ways: one easy, one hard; ending in two destinations: death or life. And there are two groups of travelers: one large, one small. Which group are you in?

In this sermon Pastor David examines part one of the conclusion of the Sermon on the Mount. After calling His followers to live by the highest of all moral standards, Jesus finishes His sermon by calling for a response.

Matthew 7:13–14 “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.

The wide gate opens to an easy road that leads to certain destruction, but the narrow gate opens to a hard road that leads to eternal life with God. Which gate will you enter through? Which road will you travel on? Where will you end up?

The Golden Rule is the main point of everything Jesus has been teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. It's a summary of what life in the Kingdom should look like. It is the sermon in a sentence. The Golden Rule is a restating of the command to love your neighbor as yourself, but it goes even farther, in that it shows us what that love for neighbor looks like.

Matthew 7:12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."

Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners by His life, death, and resurrection. We often think of the importance of His substitutionary death, but why is it such a big deal that Jesus also rose from the dead? In this sermon Pastor David explains the significance of the resurrection of Christ and how it affects our faith, our forgiveness and our future.

1 Corinthians 15:12–23 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a Man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at His coming those who belong to Christ.
