Neighbor Me

We want to honour Fathers. We want to celebrate with those who had great ones. We want to sit with those who don't have one. We want to worship the one who stands head and shoulders above every other father we've had, or wished we had.

Key Text: Matthew 7:28-29

This world is filled with countless voices, each in mortal combat for our attention.

All of us submit to some form of authority, be it helpful or otherwise. It's not a matter of 'if' we will bow our knee, but 'to whom' we will bow our knee.

For the last five months we've been moving through the 'Sermon on the Mount', slowly digesting Jesus' powerful teaching and seeking to align our lives with the 'greater righteousness' he offers.

The sermon has finished. The crowd on the hillside begins to disperse. But what now? Is a sermon enough? Can mere words change eternal destinies?

Well, the answer to that depends on who's speaking.

Bow your knee to Jesus, he has authority like no other!

Key Text: Matthew 7:24-27

We're almost done working our way through the 'Sermon on the Mount', but before he's done, Jesus sums up with a clear warning. The sermon isn't something you're meant to listen to and even like... it's something you're meant to do!

Where we go looking for satisfaction reveals a lot about who our heart truly trusts.

This week we continue our series in the 'Sermon on the Mount' by looking at the famous "Ask - Seek - Knock" passage. Join us as Jesus poses the question, "Who does your heart trust: God or Man?"

Key Text: Matthew 7:1-6

Why is it we are so quick to notice the faults of others, yet so blind to the failings of our own heart?

Key Text: Matthew 6:25-34

As Jesus begins to uncover the false treasures of our hearts, we may begin to see the source of many of our anxious moments. Join us this week as we continue our 'Sermon on the Mount' series by exploring the relationship between our treasures and our anxieties.

Key Text: Matthew 6:19-24

At heart, we're all treasure seekers.

The great question is, what treasure are we seeking?

The next instalment of our 'Sermon on the Mount' series finds us being confronted by this very question as Jesus continues to reveal our need for a greater righteousness... His.

Key Text: Matthew 6:16-18

In an age of opulence and fine dining, 'fasting' can seem like a foreign concept to many Christians.

This week as we think through Jesus' warning about practicing our righteousness publicly, in order to be noticed, we're going to pause and consider the Biblical practice of 'fasting'.

What is it? Should we do it? What's it for? And why does Jesus warn us about how we practice it?
