When you’ve looked at something upside down your whole life, rightside up looks like upside down. As we begin Jesus’ journey to Jerusalem, His rightside up can look very upside down. In the Kingdom, the first shall be last and the last shall be first.
We've talked about receiving a forgiving heart from the Father. Now let's talk about receiving a missional heart from the Father, that’s fit for eternity. What is the one thing God wants from us? And what does it mean to make God your one thing? Join us on Sunday as we drive into this topic.
Forgiveness. It's hard. Is it instantaneous or a process? Is it something I'm supposed to "feel" or just do? How do we access God's grace to walk out forgiveness? Come join us Sunday and we'll learn from Jesus as He gives us a master class on how to forgive and the freedom that comes with it.
People say "we don't go to church, we are the church" but what does that mean? If we are the church, how does that shape our values? How does that shape our lifestyle? On a deeper level, how does the church become the ground through which God's heart is formed in us?
Simon discovers that Jesus is the Messiah at the same time that Jesus reveals Himself to Peter. Getting closer to God reveals who we are through self-awareness and understanding! The question is are we close enough to hear His voice of encouragement and correction?
Do you find it difficult to talk to people about your faith? How can we trust God in sharing the gospel to others? We will talk about the ways we can find common ground and build a genuine connection this Sunday. For now, pray humbly and ask God to give all of us grace in sharing the Word.
What if there is a power behind the powers? What if Jesus has authority over the powers behind the powers? Jesus can set us free. The question is do we really want to be free? In Matthew 8, Jesus demonstrates His power while also addressing the true cost of discipleship.
How do you know if you are on the right road? Being on the right road is vitally important in arriving at the right destination. In Matthew 7, Jesus gives us several hints to help us know if we are on the right road.
Last week, we learned about the first block of teaching from Jesus in Matthew 5. What exactly are "Acts of Righteousness?" We learned about what it looked like to live in the absence of Jesus. This week, we'll see what it’s like to be in His presence. Join us on as we dive deeper into the book of Matthew.
What does it mean that the Kingdom is both here now and forthcoming? What if King Jesus invites us to the already and not yet? What if our faith allows us to see the clear picture of the Kingdom? Come join us as we continue our walk through the Book of Matthew and celebrate Jesus as King.
