What the World Needs Now - Authentic Difference-Makers, Part 1 — Living on the Edge with Chip Ingram Daily Podcast

About this Episode

There’s no shortage of expert advice on what the world needs now - opinions abound and division increases. The question is: What would Jesus have us hear in the midst of the confusion and chaos? In this program, Chip goes to the book of Matthew for the answer.

Main Points Overview of Matthew 5:

3-12: The characteristics of His true followers and their promised rewards
13-16: Salt and light: The movement’s strategy
17-20: Relationship of this new teaching to the Law of Moses

Jesus' Warnings - 4 "movement killers"

Key issue = motives - Who am I seeking to please?
Key issue = materialism - Whose agenda am I seeking to accomplish?
Key issue = misapplication - Where am I mis-applying Jesus' teaching?
Key issue = misperception

Have I entered through the narrow gate and does my life reflect one who is...

Poor in spirit?
Mourns?
Meek?
Hungering & thirsting for righteousness?
Merciful?
Pure in heart?
A peacemaker?
Persecuted because of righteousness?
