    This Week's Bible Reading
    Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6
    Matthew 5:1-16 Matthew 5:17-48 Matthew 6:1-18 Matthew 6:19-34 Matthew 7:1-14 Matthew 7:15-29
    Bible Reading Guide

    This week we are tackling all of Matthew 5-7. These chapters contain one of Jesus’ long discourses that is traditionally known as the “Sermon on the Mount”. The verses that constitute these chapters are most likely a summary of a much longer sermon. In it Jesus lays out for his listeners, and for us, a sort of kingdom ethic, a challenging but practical manner in which Christ-followers are expected to live. As you read through a different section of this sermon on each day, consider both of those aspects in regards to what you read: how does it challenge you and how is it practical? Prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit to guide you into a better understanding of this sermon with the intent to see your own life conformed to Jesus’ teaching.
