As for Sunday, I love the ways Jesus’ words – delivered on a hillside overlooking the Sea of Galilee 2,000 years ago – speak right to the heart of our lives here and now. Last weekend, we examined the ways in which we, as citizens of the Kingdom of God, are called to live as salt and light, preserving and radiating the light of God’s love into our society.
This week, we get to the meat of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. In the passage we unpack this weekend, Jesus will redefine our understanding of what makes someone righteous and call us to extinguish the embers of anger and contempt before they burst into a bonfire of hatred. It’s going to be an important conversation that is relevant to every single one of us.
Here are some helpful resources to get you ready for the weekend:
I’m grateful to be on this journey with you.
