A few weeks ago, Rob Bell started a new sermon series @ Mars Hill that will move verse by verse through the Sermon on the Mount.

Here’s an excerpt from the description of the series.

Nowhere does Jesus talk more clearly about what it looks like to follow him than in the Sermon on the Mount … It’s about what happens when God shows up: The poor, the meek, and those who mourn—even these groups are called blessed. And enemies are loved, the poor are cared for, people mean what they say. This is the seemingly impossible, made to happen on earth.

I have listened to the first couple of sermons via the iTunes podcast and, much as I did during the recent Philippians series, have found myself greatly encouraged and challenged to continue to think about what it means to be a follower of Jesus in today’s world.

Great stuff so far. Check it out.
