Here’s podcast audio from this past Sunday’s sermon at @tbccordova, as we resumed our sermon series on the Gospel of Matthew. We looked at 3 detailed accounts of Jesus’s healings in Matthew 8:1-17: a leper, a centurion’s servant, & Peter’s mother-in-law.

This morning at @tbccordova we finish up the Sermon on the Mount! You can build your life in wisdom or in foolishness. Hearing AND doing Jesus’s words is how we build with wisdom and endure the storms of life.

This coming Sunday at @tbccordova, we wrap up our study of the Sermon on the Mount, the greatest sermon ever recorded. In the last section (Matt. 7:24-29), Jesus says that the way to build your life on a firm foundation is through hearing his words AND putting them into practice.
