Coming off the mountain top where he gave the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus begins to practice what he just preached, and in doing so he shows us the posture of his mission - unequivocally toward the other of society.

As Jesus concludes his famous Sermon on the Mount, he wraps up with a series of ultimatums. His core question is, "What are you going to do with my words?"

People don't like judgmental Christians. Jesus doesn't either. He makes the case that if we can lay aside unrighteous judgmentalism, we can then take up the mantle and walk in the Golden Rule, for God's glory.

Jesus addresses anxiety head on in our passage today. As we seek to orient our lives around God and others, Jesus anticipates our "What about this?" and our "What about that?". Our anxiety creeps in and tell us that we should prioritize many things, not one.

Jesus dives into the practices of fasting and simplicity, and ultimately wants us to experience life as it was designed: simple and completely directed toward God and others.

When was the last time you really pondered the implications of these seemingly simple words? We're gonna dip our toes into the vast ocean of the Lord's Prayer.

It's not just the what of Jesus commands that are important. It's the how and the why. In our passage Jesus prescribes the spiritual discipline of secrecy, in which we "do not let our left hand know what our right hand is doing."

Last week we looked at the Greatest Commandment to love God with all of ourselves, and how our church walks in it. But what about the Second Greatest Commandment? Hear from Pastor Nick and other ministry leaders on how we walk this command out in the life of our church.

As Fall hits, we are looking at our Church rhythms. What is this church all about? Taking our cue from Jesus, we zoom out to rediscover that life is all about Love for God and others. You'll hear from Pastor Nick and several other ministry leaders.

The climax of Jesus' Old Testament precedent-busting commands is his command for Christians to love their enemies. The most beautiful part of this command is the motivation behind it. We love our enemies, because God is an enemy-loving God. We love our enemies to be close to him, and to be like him.
