But have you ever stopped to ask: What’s stopping us from living generously?

Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:25-34 and Matthew 7:1-6 that two things often stand in our way: fear and judgment. Fear makes us hold on too tightly, and judgment makes us decide who’s “worthy” before we give. But what if Jesus is calling us to something better?

Join us this Sunday as we unpack: Why worry keeps us from trusting God’s provision How judgment blinds us to the needs around us What it really means to seek first the Kingdom

If we want to live on earth as it is in heaven, we have to remove what’s blocking us.

The King and His Kingdom: The Generous Economy of the Kingdom - Matthew 6:19-24

We’re diving into one of Jesus’ most challenging teachings—how we handle money, possessions, and wealth. In Matthew 6:19-24, Jesus isn’t just giving financial advice—He’s calling us to live into His Kingdom now by shifting where we store, how we see, and who we serve.

🔹 Are we storing up treasure in heaven or clinging to earthly wealth?

🔹 Do we see money through the lens of generosity or greed?

🔹 Are we serving God with our money or serving the money god?

If Jesus is really King right here, right now, then how we use our resources matters. The early church in Acts 2 & 4 lived this out, and we’re called to do the same.

Join us as we explore how Jesus’ Kingdom economy challenges our culture’s mindset on wealth, security, and generosity.

Do you ever feel like the world is spinning out of control? Division, injustice, and power struggles seem to define every aspect of our lives. But what if there was another way—a way that doesn’t just preserve what’s good but actually transforms the world? Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount call us to be salt and light—not just a nice metaphor, but a revolutionary way of living. The world thrives on power and control, but the Kingdom of God advances through radical generosity, peacemaking, and selfless love.

We’ll explore why we exist as followers of Jesus and how our good deeds are meant to be a bold resistance against injustice and greed. When we live as salt and light, we reveal the power of the Gospel—not through greed or violence, but, for example, through generosity and love. Join us as we dive into Matthew 5:13-20 and discover how being part of God’s kingdom is not just about where we go when we die but about bringing the ways of the heavenly kingdom here to earth.

What does it mean to truly live as though Jesus is Lord? If His reign is one of peace, how does that shape our daily lives, our relationships, and the way we interact with a broken world? This Sunday, we’ll dive into these challenging but vital questions as we explore The King and His Kingdom of Peace. Our focus will be on Matthew 5 and other key Scriptures that highlight Jesus’ call for us to be peacemakers, as He was. From fractured relationships to global conflicts, the world’s need for peace is undeniable. Together, we’ll consider: The Gospel of peace that Jesus proclaimed The practice of peace that He calls us too The cost of being peacemakers in a peace-shattered world

The King and His Kingdom: What if Jesus really is King, then what? - Beginning in Matthew 3:1-3 What if the Gospel isn’t just about a ticket to heaven, but about a kingdom that’s already here? Imagine the voice of John the Baptist in the wilderness or Jesus proclaiming, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” These words weren’t just religious slogans—they were an urgent invitation to a new way of life, here and now. This Sunday, in the first message of our new series, “The King and His Kingdom: If Jesus really is king, then what?” we’ll dig deep into what Jesus meant when He talked about the “kingdom of heaven.” He wasn’t talking about a future destination after death but a life-changing reality breaking into our world. From the Sermon on the Mount to the life that He lived, Jesus paints a picture of a kingdom that challenges everything we know. This isn’t a path of ease or shortcuts, but one that requires faith, obedience, and sacrifice. It’s a radical call to action, a moonshot vision for what life can look like when we truly live under God’s reign.
