    Living Without Worry and Anxiety - Matthew 6:26-33 | Sermon on the Mount Week 14
    Sep 27 2026
    Jesus moves into a section of the Sermon on the Mount concerning worry and anxiety. He tells His audience not to worry about what they eat, drink, or wear and He gives reasons why. Ultimately, worry and anxiety do not contribute to the solution of any problem we face in life. To illustrate and explain how God wants to care and provide for us, Jesus uses a couple of examples from nature. And, then, to close this section, He gives something BETTER for us to focus our mental energy on.

    Pursuing the Lord and Loving Others - Matthew 7:6-12 | Sermon on the Mount | Week 16
    Oct 12 2026
    Last week, we finished a section of the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus had been calling out five areas of hypocrisy in 1st century Jewish life. As we move forward in the passage this morning, we will see an emphasis on relational pursuit of the Lord and others. This would have been amazing news to His disciples. The life of a disciples must always start with vertical pursuit of the Lord and then should spill horizontally on to others.

    As a way to illustrate the truth that pursuit of God is a worthwhile endeavor, Jesus now focuses on the choices each member of His audience must make in their day to day lives.

He is taking on three of the most prominent religious activities of the 1st century Jew: (1) Charitable Giving [v1-4], (2) Prayer [v5-v13], and (3) Fasting [v16-v18].
