SERIES: Sermon on the Mount

TITLE: What does it mean to be in God's family?

SCRIPTURE: 5:13–20

PREACHING: Brandon Goad, Lead Pastor

In Matthew 5:13–20, Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount by teaching his followers what it means to live as members of God’s family. Because our adoption precedes our instruction, we are called to bear the family resemblance, embrace the story of God’s faithful work, and learn to represent our Father by following his Son.

PREACHING: Jonathan Montejano, Associate Pastor

We live in a culture that measures a "blessed" life by our comfort, our bank accounts, and our success. But two thousand years ago, Jesus sat down on a hillside and introduced an upside-down kingdom that completely flipped our definition of the word.

Title: Building up the Body of Christ

Text: 1 Corinthians 14

Preacher: Lead Pastor, Brandon Goad

Description: Any of us can be that person on any given day, focused on our own spiritual needs, unaware of how our posture detracts from the building up of Christ’s body. And here’s the counterintuitive truth: when we all focus on building up Christ’s body, we will be built up personally. Because we are part of the body that is being built up. That’s what Paul has been saying all along. If we focus on building up ourselves, only we get the benefit. But if we focus on building up the body, everyone, including us, benefits.
