In this next passage of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus highlights a vital value of the Kingdom of God and levels up its implication on our relationships. This particular value spans all our environments and is one way we can reconcile the disconnect we sometimes feel between faith and work.

In Matthew 5:31-32, Jesus teaches his disciples about divorce and the law that was given by Moses. Jesus is tested by the Pharisees in Matthew 19:3-12 and points them back to Genesis 1-2. Pastor Sanchez teaches a new perspective on the law, and the implications Jesus made about human dignity.

When it comes to the taboo topic of lust, the church tends to offer two different extremes along the same spectrum. Both options tend to lead to relational damage and baggage. What if we scrap the spectrum and take a different approach to understanding Jesus’ words about lust and its effects?

In Matthew 5:21-26, Jesus is revealed as the new Moses who establishes a new law. Pastor Sanchez gives a powerful message about reconciling anger, in light of the resurrection of Jesus.

Jesus did not come to do away with the law and prophets but to fulfill them as the purest intent and greatest expression of their meaning. In doing so, Jesus does not abolish the law but instead abolishes legalism.

In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus is revealing not only his kingdom to His disciples, but kingdom influence in the world. Pastor Sanchez reminds us of our kingdom influence as salt and light to the world.

This week Pastor Casey shares briefly about the conclusion to the beatitudes and how the cost of the clash will be our persecution.

Pastor Sanchez begins our new study on the Sermon on the Mount. Matthew 5:1-5 addresses earthly terms God gives His disciples, as the seek to follow Him.

Why do we need to focus on proximity as we pursue the vision of multicultural community? Pastor Stephen takes a walk through the history of America and uses the narrative of Nehemiah to give us a path forward.

Pastor Casey concludes our 2020 vision series addressing city-mindedness.
