April 06, 2026 Easter Sunday 2026
The resurrection means everything good will be restored. Because of Jesus’
bodily, historical rising from the dead, a new day has dawned. Just as the
power of sin touched every single part of creation at the fall, the power
of the resurrection is redeeming every single part of creation since
Easter. Sin and death has been swallowed up in the victory of God.
God is restoring everything- paintings and buildings, people and marriages,
relationships and families, hearts and bodies, and the whole universe! So,
when it comes to the future, we need not be pessimists nor optimists;
instead we can be something far more powerful: resurrectionists!
He has risen! Hallelujah!

March 30, 2026 Live the revolution: down the narrow path.
Matthew 7:13-29
Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount concludes with a choice: which road will we
walk? The “narrow way” is not about securing a distant afterlife, but about
embracing a transformed life here and now—one shaped by the Spirit’s
ongoing work within us.
Set against the backdrop of Israel’s coming destruction, Jesus warns of the
broad road that ultimately leads to a wasted life, disconnected from true
purpose. For us today, this choice remains just as urgent. Kingdom people
resist moralism in all its forms, reject shallow measures of success, and
push back against radical individualism.
Instead, they commit to a shared life of formation—walking together, being
shaped into the image of Christ, and offering themselves in willingness to
be used by God. The invitation stands: enter the narrow gate, and discover
the life you were made for.

March 23, 2026 Live the revolution: do good.
Matthew 7:1-12
The Sermon on the Mount is not merely about behavior, but about a deep
transformation of the heart that enables Kingdom living from the inside
out. As we conclude our series, we consider Jesus' closing statement: “do
to others what you would have them do to you.”
His “Golden Rule” is the simple yet demanding summary of his teaching to
this point. He calls believers not just to avoid harm but to actively
pursue good through restoration and generosity toward others. Ultimately,
Kingdom people are those who resist judgmentalism, practice self-awareness,
and extend to others the same gracious kindness that they themselves
receive from God.

March 16, 2026 Live the revolution: treasures.
Matthew 6:19-24
The Revolution Jesus is leading us into has to work its way into our
systems of valuing - exposing what we treasure.
Jesus presses this issue because He is fully aware of the duality resulting
from trying to live in both Kingdoms - of Mammon and of God - at the same
time. The result will be crippling anxiety and paralyzing worry. So… His
solution is to choose relentless focus on the Kingdom of God and to let
that choice inform our attitudes and behaviors around money, time, and
other measures of value.

March 09, 2026 Live the revolution: The Lord’s Prayer.
Matthew 6:5-15⁠
Today we focus in on The Lord’s Prayer, Jesus’s teaching on what is called
prayer in Matthew 6:5-15, and how prayer is for everyone at all times. We
also learn about the radical state of practicing the presence of God
through prayer without ceasing as exemplified by the life of Brother
Lawrence.

March 02, 2026 Alpha Holy Spirit Sunday
In a break from our 'Live the Revolution' series, and at the conclusion our
most recent Alpha Course, we dedicate our Sunday Service to the subject of
the Holy Spirit: Who is the Holy Spirit? What does the Holy Spirit do? How
can we be filled with the Holy Spirit?
The Christian life is not just about faith in Jesus - who He is and what He
has done. Putting our faith in Jesus is the vital first step. But the Holy
Spirit is the one in whose dimension of life we go on to experience God
throughout the rest of our lives. So without Him we have nothing. But with
the power of the Spirit in our lives, we can live the fruitful, meaningful,
joy-filled, empowered lives we were made for.

February 23, 2026 Live the revolution: for the audience of one.
Matthew 6:1-8, 16-18
Having shown what a kingdom heart and the kingdom life looks like, Jesus
concludes His Sermon on the Mount with a series of warnings about
inhibiting the kingdom life.
The first concerns the desire for approval from anyone other than God our
Father. When our motivation to give, pray and fast is clouded by what
others think of us, we need to beware. Kingdom People are called to devote
themselves to the audience of One - our loving Father in heaven. When we do
this we receive the greatest of rewards - more of him - his presence,
peace, love, and power.

February 18, 2026 Live the revolution: love they neighbor.
Matthew 5:21-48
What does this revolution actually look like in real life? Torah Law was
always about love — love of God, self and neighbor — but somewhere along
the way it had became something to manage, manipulate, and weaponize. In
six startling case studies, Jesus takes Israel’s Law, and traces the
trajectory from the seed in the heart to the fruit in the world, and brings
his focus to the image of God in every one of us.
Jesus goes after contempt, objectification, power abuse, image-management,
retaliation and tribal loyalty. This is not moral tightening or any sort of
new rules: it is relational restoration, the root of all kingdom justice!
With bonkers (and so misunderstood!) contextual wisdom, turning cheeks and
walking extra miles actually become ways of expressing agency, calling out
injustice and inviting even our enemy into relationship. Challenging
teaching, for our challenging times!

February 09, 2026 Live the revolution: beyond the goodness of Pharisees.
Matthew 5:17-20
Having announced his kingdom, invited all to enter it, and described that
people of the kingdom as salt and light, Jesus elaborates on how kingdom
people live.
Our goodness is to surpass that of the Pharisees. This is life beyond
legalistic righteousness. So, Jesus hasn’t come to tell us to live
righteously, he has come to make us into the sort of people who live
righteous lives. His interest is in the heart, not outward appearance.
The challenge to us is this: does following the law come naturally? We
become such a person only when we allow the power of God’s love to
transform us daily into the kingdom people we have become.

February 02, 2026 Live the revolution: salt and light.
Matthew 5:13-16
Jesus turns things upside down when it comes to who is invited into his
kingdom - it’s everyone, really everyone. What’s more, the invitation to
receive the blessing of his kingdom is not dependent on anything that we
might deem a qualification or a disqualification. But Jesus doesn’t end his
teaching there. And neither must we. Entrance into his kingdom is just the
first step.
Jesus continues his Sermon on the Mount by painting a picture of what
Kingdom people look like. Fundamentally, they are ontologically changed.
Kingdom people are salt and light. They don’t try to be, or should be, or
can be salt and light. They are. Such a radical change only happens when we
allow God to resurrect us. And we can only be resurrected if we’re willing
first to die to what we were.
Salt stops things decaying, makes things pleasurable, and helps things
grow. Light is the presence of Jesus shining out of us and redeeming the
world. The world needs us to be who we are - salt of the earth and light of
the world.
