The Gateway Church

Recorded at Gray's Lake Terrace

Out of context, the Christian life can be quite odd. Jesus can easily be peddled among a cadre of gurus or held up as a proponent of radicalized political ideologies. But in context - that is, in the life, teachings, and way of Jesus, epitomized in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) - Jesus is breathtakingly beautiful.

Jesus is both teaching and listener, authoritative and meek, truth and life.

It is our desire as a community to do more than learn Jesus' teachings or build an ethical life with Jesus as our reference; instead, we desire to practice the way of Jesus for the renewal of the city.

So, over the coming weeks, we'll set out to articulate our mission - Practicing the way of Jesus for the renewal of the city - and the values undergirding that mission: presence, formation, and renewal.

If you want to learn about whom we hope to become and how we hope to get there, do not miss this next month. And, if you're aware of a friend(s) who's been considering Jesus, this would be an opportune time to extend an invitation.

Sermon on the Mount Wrap Up

What if Jesus was serious? Serious about enemy love; serious about self-examination; serious about unhealthy attachment to stuff (money, possessions, "my time," and the rest). Would this change how you think about life in general? What about life as a practicing Christian? We hope so, and more. Jesus' teaching have on offer more than nice thoughts but presents a blessing - for you and your neighbor.

Over the next eight weeks, we will sit with Jesus' vision of the blessed community.
