If you have grown up in the church,

 you have heard about the Sermon on the Mount.

The Sermon is about the…

“Beatitudes”

“Anger and Revenge”

“Marriage”

“The Lord’s Prayer”

“Money”

 “Worry

“Trusting in God”

Powerful life impacting lessons are found in this message

Jesus spoke to the multitude and now us, as well.

This morning I realized the most

important thing about Christ’ sermon.

It is so obvious and common throughout these

verses we easily miss the key point of Jesus’ message.

  

Everything Jesus talks about in

the sermon is connected to one thing.

  

As important as the six topics are to a

successful life there is a more important message.

The point Jesus makes is tied to “Our Father”.

Missing the message of “Our Father” misses everything.

Jesus starts out the message with…

“Let your light shine before men, that they may see

your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” Matt 5:16

Why do we love our enemies?

“that you may be sons of your Father in heaven.” Matt 5:45

As children we are to

“Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matt 5:48

Concerning our righteousness

 “You will have no reward from your Father in heaven.” Matt 6:1

“Then your Father, who sees what is

done in secret, will reward you.” Matt 6:4

“close the door and pray to your Father,” Matt 6:6

“our Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matt 6:6

“our Father knows what you need before you ask him.” Matt 6:8

 “how you should pray: Our Father in heaven,” Matt 6:9

“forgive men when they sin against you,

your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” Matt 6:14-15

“do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Matt 6:15

“not be obvious to men that you are fasting,

but only to your Father, who is unseen” Matt 6:18

“your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matt 6:18

“Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away

in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them.” Matt 6:26

“'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'

 … your heavenly Father knows that you need them.” Matt 6:31-33

“How much more will your Father in heaven give

good gifts to those who ask him!” Matt 7:11-12

"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven,

but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Matt 7:21

Jesus’ message is from sunrise to sunrise;

our life focus is on “Our Father in Heaven”.

Life  is all about seeing yourself as

a child of Our Father in Heaven.
