esus' first sermon in the Book of Matthew is the Sermon on the Mount (SOM) is the first of five messages (see below) in Matthew related to discipleship that were preached by Jesus. It is the Holy Spirit speaking to us who claim to belong to Jesus. The SOM is for Jesus' disciples. We will see our true selves in the beatitudes and the living words that follow. This is going to be an exciting series as Jesus speaks to us.

The ending of each sermon is easy to spot since they end with the words "Jesus had finished (Matt. 7:28; 11:1; 13:53; 19:1; 26:1)." May we suggest that you read each message while noting the special emphasis of each section as indicated in the figure. May God bless you as seek to know Him more as you grow as His disciple.
