A Greater Righteousness

This Sunday, we're back to the Sermon on the Mount! After spending this fall in the introduction (Matthew 5:1-16), we'll now get into the main body of Jesus' teaching, beginning in Matthew 5:17-20. This section of verses is actually a wonderful passage to reflect on as we begin a new year.

Come, O Wisdom!

This Sunday we're starting Advent, the season which most closely reflects the posture of the entire Christian life. We are people who live "in between" - between the first and second comings of Jesus, between the promise made and the promise fulfilled, between grace and shalom. Advent is a training ground for our entire life in Christ.

A Community of Salt and Light

This Sunday we’ll be looking again Matthew 5:13-16, which speaks of Jesus' calling on his people to be agents of renewal and restoration in the world- a calling that endures in any and every circumstance we find ourselves in.

Keep Open House

Next Sunday we will dive more deeply into the two key metaphors Jesus employs in this teaching: salt and light. But this Sunday, we'll focus on verse 15: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
