Six weeks into the Sermon on the Mount, we're taking a step back to reflect on what we've learned so far. Join us as we revisit the Kingdom of God, the Beatitudes, the good life, peacemaking, and Jesus' challenging words on anger and contempt, while sharing the moments that have challenged, encouraged, and shaped us along the way.

This week, Lane takes us into one of Jesus' most challenging teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. Looking at Matthew 5:21-26, we discover that Jesus is after something deeper than outward behavior. He traces murder back to anger, contempt, and the way we view people made in the image of God, inviting us toward reconciliation and a Kingdom-shaped heart.

This week, we continue through the Sermon on the Mount as we explore Jesus’ vision of a city called Shalom. Looking at the Beatitudes, salt and light, and the call to be peacemakers, we discover that God’s Kingdom is not just about personal transformation, but about becoming the kind of people who bring wholeness, reconciliation, and hope into a fractured world.

This week, Josh walks us through the next Beatitudes as we explore what it means to long for God's Kingdom. Together, we look at why Jesus calls those who mourn, the meek, and those who hunger and thirst for righteousness blessed, and how our deepest longings point toward the comfort, justice, and restoration that God has promised to bring.

This week, we explore Psalm 1 and the opening Beatitudes of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, asking what the “good life” actually is. Together, we examine how Jesus redefines blessing, flourishing, and human thriving through the upside-down values of the Kingdom of God.

Jesus begins His ministry with a bold announcement: “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven has come near.” But what does that actually mean? This week, we’ll explore how the Kingdom of God was the central message of Jesus and what life looks like when God’s rule and reign collide with our broken world.
