The red words of the Sermon on the Mount pose an incredible challenge, don’t they? Platitudes or a way of life for followers of Jesus? Read the article here. With the high regard for scripture that exists in the missional church, the Sermon on the Mount demands that we be counter cultural since nearly every verse runs in opposition to the modern world into which we’ve been sent. Though we use many cultural accoutrements to reach our community, eventually we are confronted by the One that we follow with demands that cannot be softened by candles, video, or louder praise music.

The fuss that this poster caused is trully ridiculous – I find it amazing that or prime-minster (yep – I’m Australian) who is a Christian could say that te words from te sermon on the mount are offensive or misplaced in te case of Osama bin Laden – if we are to love and pray for our enemies, and if we are to believe John and George that Osama is our enemy ten it stands to reason that yep Jesus loves Osama and so should we. Peter Jensen – the Anglican Arch Bishop of Sydney is an absolute gem (please read the sarcasm in these words!)
