Sermon on the MountSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the Sermon on the Mount and states that it presents a lofty objective for human attainment.

Gregg analyzes each beatitude and applies it to the spiritual condition of individuals, emphasizing that God's values should be adopted to find true happiness. Finally, he clarifies that the Sermon on the Mount is not meant for a particular denomination, but as a prescriptive and blessed category for all who embrace its teachings.
