Murder is big business in our society today – detective fiction, TV series, etc. But most people don’t think of it as relevant to them. This is only because we don’t really understand what murder is all about. In this session we look at our society’s view of life and death issues, and consider Jesus’ words from the Sermon on the Mount to help explain.

It’s now the third week of Church with UTB. As promised, I have produced a printable order of service as well as an online tool which will fill in the links to songs etc for you. Do have a look at the page for more information.
This week we are continuing our series on the Sermon on the Mount, thinking about the purpose of the Law and the specific example of murder.
The catechism videos are undated, as it’s best to work your way through in sequence. Simply pick the next one from this playlist.
For more information about making use of this, see the Church with UTB page.
I suspect that if you asked people to list the the commandments they remember, “Do not murder” would be #1 on the list. It’s still seen as the most heinous thing you can do. But most people also think they’re not guilty – that it’s irrelevant to them. That couldn’t be further from the truth.

Is Christianity only about keeping the rules? Is it all about obeying the Ten Commandments? In this session Jesus starts to explain why God gave us the Law and what kind of obedience he wants from us. Jesus takes us through an example “Do not murder” and helps us to understand.
The previous Sermon on the Mount video on “Engaging with the World: Salt and Light” is available here.
In due course this series will replace the existing Sermon on the Mount series.
