  • Pursuing the Lord and Loving Others - Matthew 7:6-12 | Sermon on the Mount | Week 16
    Oct 12 2026
    Last week, we finished a section of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus had been calling out five areas of hypocrisy in 1st century Jewish life. As we move forward in the passage this morning, we will see an emphasis on relational pursuit of the Lord and others. This would have been amazing news to His disciples. The life of a disciples must always start with vertical pursuit of the Lord and then should spill horizontally on to others.

  • Pairs Comparison - Part 2 - Matthew 7:16b-23 | Sermon on the Mount | Week 18
    Oct 26 2026
    Last week, we started at a section of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus starting comparisons between two things. These comparisons were largely given to illustrate the need for His audience to make choices related to His teaching. First, He compared two gates and two ways as an illustration for entrance into the Kingdom. Second, Jesus was comparing False and True Prophets. We will continue with that pairs comparison this morning and look at an example that ties both of these first two pairs comparisons together.

    As a way to illustrate the truth that pursuit of God is a worthwhile endeavor, Jesus now focuses on the choices each member of His audience must make in their day to day lives.

  • Living Without Worry and Anxiety - Matthew 6:26-33 | Sermon on the Mount Week 14
    Sep 27 2026
    Jesus moves into a section of the Sermon on the Mount concerning worry and anxiety. He tells His audience not to worry about what they eat, drink, or wear and He gives reasons why. Ultimately, worry and anxiety do not contribute to the solution of any problem we face in life. To illustrate and explain how God wants to care and provide for us, Jesus uses a couple of examples from nature. And, then, to close this section, He gives something BETTER for us to focus our mental energy on.

    Sep 6 2026
    This morning we are going to continue with the major theme of this section of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus is calling out religious hypocrisy. He is taking on three of the most prominent religious activities of the 1st century Jew: (1) Charitable Giving [v1-4], (2) Prayer [v5-v13], and (3) Fasting [v16-v18]. In light of the topic of hypocrisy, Jesus will now exhort, encourage, illustrate and challenge His disciples to focus on building wealth where it really matters, and where the investment lasts - heaven!
