The Sermon on the Mount is the most famous sermon of all time. I'm sure much of it will be familiar to you.

But some of it might not be. Jesus says some pretty radical things there. Including:

All of the law of Moses must be obeyed - every jot and tittle.

If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. (It's better to go to heaven with an eye missing, than to go to hell with both eyes.)

Divorce is not permitted. A husband who divorces his wife causes her to commit adultery, and a man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

And, of course, love your enemies.
