Choose Your Kingdom Wisely + Sunday Morning Resources
Last Sunday was incredible. We got to watch as 49 of our new brothers and sisters in the Lord went public with their decision to follow Jesus by getting baptized. I’ve never seen anything quite like what we witnessed on Sunday, and I am still rejoicing about what God is doing in our church community. To put this in perspective, we have baptized 110 people in the last four months, which equates to about a tenth of our church. All I can say is, THANK YOU JESUS!
Last Sunday, we also kicked off our spring series, Kingdom Come, by simply reading the Sermon on the Mount. My guess is that each of us had a few “ouch” moments when Jesus’ words directly confronted areas of our lives. And yet, Jesus is not prodding at those weak spots because He wants to make us feel shameful, but because He wants us to be free. His words are lovingly confrontational, and we disregard them at our own peril.
This Sunday, we will begin our line-by-line study through the Sermon on the Mount by examining the Beatitudes and considering the sort of Kingdom Jesus came to inaugurate. It’s a conversation that is incredibly relevant to each of us, because if we choose to follow Jesus, then we’re choosing to become a citizen of the Kingdom of God, and it would be helpful for us to consider how that impacts our lives.
Here are some helpful resources to get you ready for the weekend:
I’m grateful to be on this journey with you.
