What is Your Foundation? (Matthew 7:24-29)
It is times like this that remind us how important it is to build our lives on the right foundation. In this sermon, we talk about that very thing.
In Matthew 7:24-29, Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount by challenging us to put what He has taught into practice. To know and obey Jesus is to build a life on a solid rock rather than shifting sands.
What is my life built on? According to Jesus, how should a follower of God live?”
The Choice (Matthew 7:13-23)
In this message, we will talk about an important choice we have to make this Christmas. In Matthew 7:13-23, Jesus begins to wrap up the Sermon on the Mount with a challenging application.
Does Jesus know me? Does faith in Jesus make a difference in how I live?
Gift Exchange (Matthew 7:7-12)
In this message, we will learn about a different kind of gift exchange in the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 7:7-12, we discover that God gives us the gift of answered prayer and expects us to give the gift of ‘doing unto others’ in return.
Do I pray like I really believe that God always answers prayer? What should ‘doing unto others’ look like in my own life?
To Judge or Not to Judge? (Matthew 7:1-6)
In this message, we will see what Jesus has to say about judging others in the Sermon on the Mount. Should we judge others? If not, how do we deal with people who disagree with us?

Seek First the Kingdom, Not Anxiety! (Matthew 6:25-34)

What am I anxious or worried about? How does Jesus want me to view my worries and anxieties?
Going On A Treasure Hunt...(Matthew 6:19-24)
We will return to the Sermon on the Mount and consider what things we treasure or value. What values control our lives? What do we live for?
Is my treasure in heaven or on earth? Who or what really controls my thoughts and actions?
How Should We Treat Others? (Matthew 5:33-42)
We're thinking about how God calls us to treat others. In Matthew 5:33-42, Jesus talks about how a citizen of God’s kingdom should view oaths and retaliation. He will call us to take an approach that is different from the rest of the world around us.
Is honesty important to God? How are Christians supposed to treat other people?
How to Grow Spiritually (Matthew 6:1-18)
We're talking about growing spiritually. Jesus expects us to grow to become more like Him through spiritual disciplines like giving, praying, and fasting. But how we actually do or practice those things is important.
Why should I want to grow spiritually? How do I give, pray, and fast? Do I do those things?
Love My Enemies? Really? (Matthew 5:43-48)
We're talking about loving our enemies. In Matthew 5:43-48, Jesus challenges us with some of the most radical words in the entire Bible.
Why is it hard to love my enemies? How can I do that in my own life?
What Jesus Thinks About Marriage (Matthew 5:31-32)
We’re continuing our series on the Sermon on the Mount. In Matthew 5:31-32, Jesus talks about how a citizen of God’s kingdom should view divorce. Divorce is a painful issue and one that must be treated with care. Still, marriage is extremely important to God and Jesus has some challenging truths to teach us about marriage and divorce.
What does the Bible say about marriage and divorce? Why is marriage important to God?
