The Sermon on the Mount: Study Guide


Lesson 8: The Sermon on the Mount: “A More Excellent Way”
New Testament Class Member Study Guide, (1997)

Matthew 5
• How can Latter-day Saints be “the light of the world”? (Matthew 5:14; see also verse Matthew 5:16).
• How are the Savior’s teachings in Matthew 5:22–24, 28, 34–37, 39–40, and Matthew 5:44–48 higher laws than the laws mentioned in Matthew 5:21, 27, 33, 38, and Matthew 5:43?
• How do the teachings in the Sermon on the Mount help us “come unto Christ, and be perfected in him”? (Moroni 10:32).
Suggestion for Family Discussion
On a chalkboard, poster board, or piece of paper, write the following statement (or another statement that might be more applicable to family members): The teachings in the Sermon on the Mount can help me at school. Ask family members to read a few passages in Matthew 5 and discuss how those passages relate to the statement you have written.
