SERMON NOTES

Knowing Jesus produces incomparable joy

 

What kind of relationship with God do you want to have?

 

What kind of church do we want to have?

 

For reflection: How joyful is my current relationship with Jesus?  What interrupts my joy?  What adds to it?  How can I live from joy in this next season?

The Joy of Following Jesus

What kind of relationship with Jesus do you want to have? What kind of church do we want to have? One clear mark of genuine discipleship is the joy of Jesus in our lives that motivates us to follow him wholeheartedly.

The command to love our enemies is one of the distinctive of Christianity—but would Jesus have told us to do it if we weren’t able to? And what would happen if we took Jesus seriously?

An Eye for an Eye

How do you react when someone does something against you? One of Jesus’ most radical teachings is that instead of retaliating we are to love. This is hard to do but it’s the way of the Kingdom.

Speak the Truth!

Telling the truth seems like an easy concept but it’s not an easy one for us to live out. Jesus challenges us to honesty in the Sermon on the Mount—to do what we say and say what we’ll do.

Marriage & Divorce

Divorce is a challenging reality in our world and most people are affected by it one way or another. How should the Christian think about divorce? Jesus gives us much to think about in the Sermon on the Mount.
