SERIES: HIDDEN - Discipleship Behind the Scenes

Jesus gives us a guide to giving. But it's not all about the Do's and Don'ts. It's about planting ourselves firmly within the story of God's creative work in the world. When we give we are partnering with God to bring about the Kingdom and re-create the world in God's original vision of abundance and provision for all.

This week we begin a new series within the Sermon on the Mount called "Hidden: Discipleship Behind the Scenes."

But rather, we should be performing to an Audience of One - God the Father.

Lust, adultery, sexual desire, temptation - Jesus emphasizes the importance of getting it right. Lust, if left unrestrained, can wreak havoc on a person's life. Thankfully, Jesus points us towards a new way of interacting with members of the opposite sex.

Jesus presents a number of "Case Studies" in what it means to live into a greater righteousness. He challenges us to develop a deeper understanding of what it means to live out the commands of God and find the wisdom and heart of God behind the commandments. He begins with murder and anger.

In the Sermon in the Mount, Jesus gives his disciples a clear correction on how to read, interpret, and apply the Scriptures - It's all about Christ! How we read Scripture, what we focus on, and how we treat others - it all matters.

This morning we are joined by three members of the TSCC family who bravely share their story of struggle and redemption. Nobody has a perfect life - far from it. But God reaches down into the mess of our lives to make something beautiful.
