In this section of His most famous sermon, Jesus gives us a command and a promise. If you really believed that God is deeply good, and that He answers the passionate and persistent prayers of His beloved children, how would your prayer life be different than it is today? Ask, seek, knock…our God already knows, and He’s highly relational. He likes t…

“Judge not, lest you be judged!” is one of the most quoted verses in the Bible by Christians and non-Christians alike. But did Jesus really mean it’s never good for us to make judgment calls or use discernment about other’s actions? What we see in this passage is Jesus teaching us how to judge without being judgmental. That begins with getting the …

“Do not worry” is repeated three times in this classic teaching of Jesus. It sounds nice - but in our day and age, is this realistic? With all that is going on, how can we not worry? Jesus gives His disciples reasons they don’t have to worry, and a way to focus our attention and activities in a way that will have eternal value.…

Money and possessions reveal the human heart like nothing else does. The lie of our day is: the more I have in my hands, the happier I’ll be in my heart. But both studies and our own experience tell us that’s simply not true. Money is a tool, much like a knife. Is a knife good or bad? It depends on who’s wielding it (a surgeon or a madman?). Jesus …

It’s amazing that out of everything the disciples could have asked Jesus to teach them how to do (walk on water, turn water into wine, resurrect the dead, cast out demons) they ask Him how to … pray? What follows is a pattern of prayer that’s remarkable not for its length, but for its exquisite depth. Jesus teaches us that prayer is personal–we com…

As we step into chapter 6, Jesus is going to shift into some practical instruction surrounding 3 core spiritual disciplines: giving, prayer, and fasting. The primary focus here is on taking off our spiritual masks and learning to genuinely love God rather than trying to impress people. As citizens of the new kingdom of Jesus, we should give generou…

The last couple of weeks in the Sermon on the Mount have been pretty intense as Jesus has peeled back the layers on several controversial topics like anger, lust, marriage, and divorce. This week, we’ll hear Jesus finish the last 3 of his “you have heard it said, but I say to you…” statements as He tackles oaths, retaliation, and love for our enemi…

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus discusses many hard things. Among them, is the topic of marriage and divorce. This week’s sermon will focus on the beauty of marriage, the devastation of divorce, while pointing to the healing and hope found in Christ. We’ll look at the prevailing views for biblically permissible divorce, while also driving home th…

In the last section of this famous sermon, Jesus told His hearers that they would never enter the kingdom of heaven unless their righteousness exceeded that of the Pharisees. This week, He shows us what that deeper righteousness looks like. He tells us that an outward obedience that simply conceals a heart that is far from God is not what He’s afte…

There are few issues in culture today that have generated more confusion than the topic of gender. Contrary to the popular thought of the day that gender is merely a social construct, the Scriptures teach that gender is actually a beautiful part of God’s good design for His glory and our flourishing. Men and women are equal in dignity, value, and w…

Practicing the spiritual discipline of gratitude has always been a key marker of God’s people. As a church, we have so much to be grateful for over the past year. God has been big in and through our faith family! And yet, the mission isn’t finished. As Jesus reminds us in the parable of the hidden treasure, His kingdom is like a treasure so valuabl…

As Jesus moves from teaching about being salt & light in a dark and decaying world, we shift into a section of this most famous sermon that helps us understand how to read the Bible. Jesus is reminding us of the total truthfulness of Scripture down to the smallest detail, even in the Old Testament. In fact, all of Scripture points to Jesus. That’s …

Last week we saw Jesus launch the Sermon on the Mount with a section called the beatitudes. If the kingdom principles found in the beatitudes seem somewhat theoretical, the next section on salt & light makes it all very practical. You see, in Jesus’ day–two foundational pillars of everyday life were salt & light. While salt preserves, flavors, and …

It’s been called the greatest sermon ever preached by the greatest preacher to ever live. The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ most in-depth and well-known sermon. In it, Jesus describes His upside-down kingdom in glorious detail. He opens this famous sermon with a section commonly called the beatitudes. Eight marks of those who live in this upside-do…

This little psalm of ascent was penned by king Solomon and is packed with wisdom. It reminds us that it’s possible to work hard, build a life, and raise a family and do it all in vain. Without reliance on God, all of our striving can lead us to a place of worry, anxiety, and empty toil. Solomon reminds us to rely on God for provision and protection…

Psalm 126 is a community psalm of thanksgiving that focuses on the theme of restoration. We all need to experience restoration and renewal in different seasons of our lives. This psalm tells us several things about the supernatural restoration we all need; it’s God-supplied, awe-inspiring, joy-producing, and serves as a powerful testimony to the wo…

We’ve all experienced the pain of misplaced trust. Whether we placed our trust in a person who failed us, or perhaps an organization, or even a political party, misplaced trust can be pretty devastating. Conversely, placing our faith in the right things, can set us up for a life of success, fulfillment, and purpose. Psalm 125 gives us five things w…

As pilgrims on this journey called life, we all experience danger in various shapes and forms. King David, who wrote this particular psalm, certainly was no stranger to danger. As God’s people, what should we do when we stare into the face of the dangers of a fallen world? David points our hearts to a three-step process in Psalm 124: remember, prai…

The psalmist looks to God with humble dependence, recognizing His sovereignty and mercy. The psalmist acknowledges his own lowly position and lifts his eyes to the Lord, trusting in His unfailing love and grace. The psalm emphasizes the importance of seeking God's mercy and relying on Him in times of difficulty, and ends with a call to trust in the…
