Rach closes our DISTINCT series from the sermon on the mount by helping us wrestle with and understand the truth, and how that shapes the way we look at lies. Matthew 7:13-39 presents the truth which then gives us the capacity to distinguish truth from lies.

Josh shows from Matthew 7:1-12 the relationship we have with God as Father, and how this distinct relationship we have shapes the way we relate to those around us. It means we aren't to be judgemental but rather go above and beyond in loving others to the best of our ability.

It's easy to focus on the things that are in front of us, that we can touch and feel. But the reality of Jesus is that he is eternal and urges us to not be distracted by stuff and money, but focus on what endures. Josh walks us through this passage in our DISTINCT series on the Sermon on the Mount.

It's easy to do things to be seen by others, but one of the distinct things about the Christian life is that we are to worship God in everything, and not just be seen by others. Rach helpfully walks us through Matthew 6 and helps us see the relationship with God as Father, the reason for worshipping him, and the reward we will gain from worshipping him.

Following Jesus isn't just about doing a whole bunch of stuff and ticking a whole bunch of boxes. Jesus speaks in Matthew 5:33-48 about the importance of actually growing in our relationship with him, meaning we will go above and beyond in the way we keep our word, are unexpectedly kind, and radically loving others.

Josh Holland takes us through Matthew 5:21-32, and helps us see that our sin isn't just our actions but what comes from our heart. God takes sin very seriously, so I hope listening to this will help you take it seriously as well!

Ben continues us through the Sermon on the Mount, looking at our hearts as God's distinct people, and particularly how sin affects the heart. Jesus in Matthew 5 shows that anger and lust are things that aren't just physical actions, but reflections of our sinful heart. Jesus doesn't just demand and deserve our actions, but our heart!

Jesus makes his followers people that are to stand out in the world and be distinctly righteous. Jesus himself is distinct because he fulfils the Old Testament. Josh helps us see these things and so much more from the next chunk of the Sermon on the Mount in our DISTINCT series!

Blessing isn't something we think about much, but even when we do we might have some wrong expectations. Josh kicks off our DISTINCT series on the Sermon on the Mount by helping us see that blessing from God is for a people we wouldn't expect, and contains what we don't expect.
