Living the Righteous Life: Fulfilled, Not Abolished

Ryan Rhoden March 4, 2025

In this message, we dive into Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, where He declares, “I didn’t come to abolish the Law or the Prophets—I came to fulfill them.” What does that mean for us today? Jesus upgrades the Old Covenant, fulfilling it through His perfect life and death, freeing us from its burden (Heb. 8:13). From Moses on Mount Sinai to Jesus on the Mount, we see a shift from rules to a transformed life—His law now written on our hearts (Jer. 31:33).

Explore how Jesus calls us to a righteousness that surpasses the Pharisees—not through legalism, but through His life in us (2 Cor. 5:21). His teachings (Matt. 5-7) aren’t just inspiration; they’re a call to action: “Everyone who hears these words and puts them into practice” builds their life on the rock (Matt. 7:24-27).

Discover how Jesus’ fulfillment of the Law and the destruction of the Temple (AD 70) mark the end of the old “heaven and earth,” ushering in a New Covenant of Kingdom living—resilient, Spirit-led, and free.
