SERIES OVERVIEW
April 12-May 24, 2026
The Sermon on the Mount is Jesus’ bold vision for what it means to live as whole persons. First preached to a crowd of peasants, outcasts, and everyday people, Jesus flips the world’s values around and calls us to live out of conviction, rather than convenience, coercion, guilt, or obligation. In a culture that measures success by power and status, Jesus instead uplifts humility, mercy, peacemaking, and purity of heart.
Jesus is not patching up the old system; he’s building something entirely new from the ground up. The Sermon invites us into this upside-down world where the blessed are the broken, where love is extended to enemies, and where justice is a cornerstone of community. As individuals and as a body, we are challenged to live courageous, countercultural lives shaped by the transforming power of the life and teachings of Jesus.
Join us this weekend!
SERIES SCHEDULE
Scripture: Matthew 4:12-22
The invitation of Jesus is into a whole new reality - where, through repentance, Jesus becomes our King, and we become agents of His Kingdom.
Scripture: Matthew 5:1-12
The Sermon on the Mount is arguably the most important teaching of Jesus contained in one place. It is essentially His manifesto for life in the Kingdom of God. In the opening lines, he radically redefines what it means to be blessed - and it’s not what you might think.
Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16
Jesus calls his followers salt and light. Because of God’s redemptive work in our lives, we are enabled and empowered to live this sort of life.
Scripture: Matthew 5:17-48
Anger and rage and lust seem to be commonplace today. But the way of Jesus is altogether different. When Jesus teaches about the Law, he doesn't just talk about behavior modification, but the real heart behind the sin and our deep need for God. The way of Jesus calls us to take drastic measures to eradicate its poison from our lives.
Scripture: Matthew 6: 1-15
How can I be authentic? Who am I when no one else is looking? We show off our prayer life, our knowledge of Scripture, our service—in order to win the praise of other people. We are inundated with acting and advertising when Jesus is challenging us to have our insides match our outsides.
Scripture: Matthew 6:16-34
Where is your treasure? How is your vision? Who is your master?
Jesus’ desire is for us to move from judgment to mercy, from self-reliance to dependence on the Father, and from living on the broad road of comfort to the narrow road that leads to life. Join us as we discover how true discipleship requires humility, discernment, trust, and the courage to fully follow Jesus.
Scripture: Matthew 7:1-14
Scripture: Matthew 7:15-29
Jesus underscores the essential reality that true discipleship involves both hearing and acting upon His words, not simply performing religious acts. Those who build their lives on the solid foundation of Jesus’ teachings bear fruit that endures. Jesus warns against empty professions of faith, emphasizing that true salvation comes from knowing Him intimately and living in obedience to the will of God. The image of the wise and foolish builders starkly contrasts those who build their lives on the rock of Christ’s teachings with those who build on shifting, unstable ground.
