In the Old Testament, God told Moses that no one could see him and live. Yet, what we find in Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 5 is that no only can we see God and live, Jesus tells us exactly how. Join us as we look at this incredible invitation to not just see God with our eyes, but to experience his life changing presence in the midst of our darkest moments.

Jesus vision of the kingdom of God is that it is here and now. Yet, so many of us miss God's presence and power in our lives because we've misunderstood to whom the kingdom comes.
