In the greatest sermon ever preached, Jesus describes the citizens of his kingdom and the righteousness that exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees. This thirteen-lesson study works through Matthew 5–7 — the Beatitudes, salt and light, the heart behind the law, true piety, trust over anxiety, the golden rule, and the two builders. A teacher’s guide accompanies every lesson.

Teachers: Each lesson has a matching Teacher's Guide with discussion notes, suggested answers, and supplementary cross-references.
