Matthew 5:17-20 - ‘The King and the Law.’

This is the outline we worked to at last nights LightHouse:

1. Jesus is the scripture fulfilled



Prophecy

History

Genealogy

Cult


2. Be Hungry for an inside out righteousness




“Legalism is appealing for two reasons; First it makes holiness manageable. A heart wholly devoted to God is a tough demand but a list of ten rules I can cope with… Secondly legalism makes holiness an achievement on our part...” T Chester




a. How should this Jesus teaching shape our attitude and understanding of the Old Testament?

b. ‘The Pharisees are our greatest danger’ Do you agree with this statement, why?

c. How can we increase our appetite for righteousness?
