Mike Kapler joins me today as we talk about the Sermon on the Mount. Were Jesus' words in Matthew 5–7 directed to believers today as behavior goals — or were they intended for Old Covenant Jews still living under the law?

Before the cross, before the church existed, before the New Covenant was established — who was Jesus addressing, and why? In this conversation, we explore the covenant setting of the Sermon on the Mount and ask whether we’ve been reading church doctrine into a message that was never intended for the church. This isn’t about dismissing Jesus’ words. It’s about understanding them in context. If context helps to determine meaning, this conversation matters.
