SM 0 Sermon on the Mount: The Musical

Here is the traditional coverage of the Sermon on the Mount. Start at the beginning and continue. Most verse or verse groups can have their own ARMS (Attractive Refrigerator Magnet Sermons).

This is the case, for example, with the "Sermon on the Mount: The Musical" as performed by Piercing Word.

[spread spectrum communication]

Here are some more connections in the Sermon on the Mount. The 103 verses that form the body of the Sermon on the Mount form six sequences of seven ideas that match rather well the Kingdom Parables and the Seven Churches in Revelation. Some sequences are top-down backward-chaining while others are bottom-up forward-chaining.

Many verses are typically handled one at a time, one (refrigerator magnet) sermon per verse, sometimes a few grouped verses, and than in the order in which they appear. In the verse model, some sequences are top-down backward-chaining while others are bottom-up forward-chaining.

12. Stair analogy
Stepwise refinement - numberedA stair analogy can be used to help understand top-down design and bottom-up implementation. Identifying the goal is most important! You do not want to climb the wrong stairs to get to the wrong goal.
Implementation: Design: When it works, top-down tends to be better. Gospels:

Cross-relating the verses by column provides some interesting connections that are not obvious when looking at the verses by row (e.g., contiguous, in the order in which they are written, reverse order for top-down backward chained verses).
