This discussion highlights the stark choices of life and death as presented by Jesus. Listeners are invited to reflect on the two paths: one broad and leading to destruction, the other narrow and challenging, yet promising eternal life. The significance of obedience and the societal pressures to conform are explored, alongside a call to prioritize spiritual values. Personal testimonies emphasize baptism as a powerful symbol of transformation and community, reinforcing the hope found in faith and the urgency of choosing the right path.

One of the greatest promises in the Bible is found right here in the Sermon on the Mount. Even though it is sometimes twisted by some, this is an amazing promise given to believers that our Good Father loves to give us good and needful things. And when we live in His generosity toward us, it should cause us to be generous to those around us as well.

A popular anthem of people in the culture - and even some Christians - is "You can't judge me!" If they have heard these verses in Matthew 7 before, they will even quote them to support their argument. But is Jesus telling us that we can never judge others at all? Is there a right kind of judgment? And what does any of this have to do with throwing pearls before pigs?

One of our elders - Rob Loy preaches from Matthew 6:25-34 on how to deal with anxiety. Why do we need to trust God when we are anxious? How does that help bring us peace in those moments?

The message of Jesus in this passage is clear: worship of God and money do not mix. In our current cultural crisis of inflation, our hearts on this issue are being checked every time we pass by a gas station wondering what the numbers will reveal. There are many ways that we "store up treasure on earth" and serve money instead of Jesus. How should we rightly view our resources and instead "store up treasures in heaven?"

In the final of the three spiritual disciplines Jesus speaks of in Matthew chapter 6, He addresses fasting. This is a spiritual discipline that is either rare or completely non-existent in many Christian's lives. Why should we pursue fasting again? What is it and why is it important?

Jesus taught the disciples to pray using what we know as "The Lord's Prayer." This prayer was not given to just be mindlessly repeated for thousands of years but was given by Jesus to show how we should approach our Father in Prayer. In these verses, we learn the importance of praying in secret and with simplicity and also how to prepare our hearts for prayer.

Nate O'Brien walks us through Matthew 6:1-4 about giving. Jesus taught us that when we give, we should do so humbly and privately, not in order to receive the praise of men. Our Father rewards those who give "in secret," but those who do not, have already received their reward through the praise of men.

One of the hardest topics to talk about that Jesus covers in the Sermon on the Mount is divorce and remarriage. Does Jesus give any biblical grounds for divorce? What does the rest of the Bible have to say about it? Let's dive into the Scripture and be willing to speak the truth in love even on tough topics like this one.
