Astonished at His Doctrine

Summary

The sermon explores the profound authority and divine nature of Christ's teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, emphasizing the reality of hell, the seriousness of sin, and the high moral standards set by Jesus. It highlights the astonishment of the people at Christ's doctrine, contrasting it with the rejection and betrayal He later faced. The preacher calls for a renewed reverence for Scripture, urging believers to be grounded in the Word of God and to embrace doctrines such as election and predestination as revealed in the Bible. The message challenges modern Christianity to uphold biblical truth rather than conform to human reasoning or cultural trends.
