Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 2002 | Series: Sports Devotionals

Today’s great pitchers – Randy Johnson, Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, and others – work off a ten-inch mound of clay. Some days, they dominate so completely it seems they come from a higher league! The Lord Jesus Christ did some of his best teaching one day from a mountainside. He did come down from a higher league! He was a resident of Heaven itself! He was the very Son of the living God in a human body! Chapters 5–7 of Matthew’s gospel record the greatest sermon ever preached by the greatest preacher who ever lived! As you read and discuss "Sermon on the Mound," you will grow in the grace and knowledge of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. May you enjoy His presence as He teaches you!
