Life in the Kingdom of God

"Life in the Kingdom of God" is a study of the Sermon on the Mount. We will be challenged with what it means practically to be a Christian and a follower of Jesus. We will see how far we fall short of God's standard for his people and how much we need the grace and power of God in our hearts.
