  • 91. Announcing the Kingdom: The Fulfillment and the Heart of the Law | Matthew 5:17-48
    Nov 21 2025

    What did Jesus mean when He said He came not to abolish the Law but to fulfill it? And why does He immediately raise the standard far beyond external obedience?

    In this teaching on Matthew 5:17–48, we explore how Jesus is announcing the Kingdom by revealing God’s original intention behind the Law—calling His followers to a righteousness that flows from a transformed heart.

    We’ll walk through each of Jesus’ “You’ve heard it said… but I say to you” statements and see how they show us:the fulfillment of the Old Testament in Him

    the heart behind each command

    the difference between religious rule-keeping and Kingdom righteousness

    why Jesus raises the standard, not to crush us, but to point us to a new heart and a new life in Him

    If you’ve ever wondered what true righteousness looks like—or why Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount feel so challenging—this video will give you a clear, biblical, and practical explanation.
