“This series will minister to a pastor's soul as well as give him an immense resource for his preaching. And it will minister to the parishioner wonderfully in personal Bible study. The reader will be filled with fresh thoughts about our Lord as well as joyful encouragement for himself. That is what happened to me in reading this. ”

—Dr. Ken Taylor, Translator of the Living Bible

“The Preaching the Word Commentary is one of my favorites. The focus upon explaining the text with preaching it as the goal makes the series resonate with the priorities of the pulpit. No academic aloofness here, but down-to-earth, preacher meat for God's people. ”

—Bryan Chapell, President, Covenant Seminary, St. Louis, MO

“The single best resource for faithful biblical exposition today. A great boon for genuine reformation! ”

—Timothy George, Dean, Samford University, Beeson Divinity School

“Throughout the Christian centuries, from Chrysostom and Augustine through Luther, Calvin, and Matthew Henry, to Martyn Lloyd-Jones and Ray Stedman, working pastors have been proving themselves to be the best of all Bible expositors. Kent Hughes stands in this great tradition, and his exciting expositions uphold it worthily. ”

—Dr. J. I. Packer, Author, Knowing God

Within the three chapters of Matthew, better known as the Sermon on the Mount, are truths so rich and deep that no matter how often or how closely we examine their words, they continually bring new relevance to our lives.

Do you want to know what kind of character you should have as a Christian?

What should define your outer way of life and your inner habit of mind? Then study the Sermon. Ponder each sentence and test yourself by it.

There is no other section of Scripture that brings you face to face with your own humanity and the grace of salvation as the Sermon does. As Christ masterfully expounds on the Kingdom of Heaven, He presents believers with the perfect standard of the Christian life. He challenges the genuineness of our words and actions, allowing us to know exactly where we stand in relation to the Kingdom. Both humbling and encouraging, it is the greatest message ever preached.

Kent Hughes faithfully explores the words that penetrate our hearts, and brings forth the lessons from this matchless model of the Christian life.
