The Sermon on The Mount

LED BY MARISSA CARTER
ONLINE VIA ZOOM
AUG 27-SEPT 17
6 PM

The Sermon on the Mount contains some of Jesus' most memorable and transformative teachings. In it, Jesus lays the foundation for His ministry and offers a glimpse into God’s heart. It is the inaugural address for the Messiah’s Kingdom! Though a work of art, The Sermon on the Mount is not meant to impress with eloquence or astonish with wisdom. It calls all listeners– both disciples and seekers– into action, urging us to be salt and light to a world in need. In this four-week study, we will explore how Jesus' powerful words continue to shape lives today, challenging us to take God’s blessings to us and share them with all.

Identity in Christ

LED BY LYNDSAY WAGNER
ROOM 408 CHILDREN’S BUILDING
AUG 27-NOV 19
9:30AM 

As followers of the Lord, we each have our identity in Christ. We can allow many things to define our identity and our worth: relationship status, career plans, and passions. But none of these will ever truly satisfy and can always change. Allowing Christ to define our lives can give us the security and reassurance we need to pursue the life He has called us to lead.

The book of Proverbs describes godly wisdom as a path that leads to life and flourishing. It also warns of the folly of worldly wisdom as a path that leads to the grave. Every day we face the choice between the true riches of God’s instruction or the fool’s gold of earthly pleasures and pursuits. Join us as we learn more about living out the way of wisdom and how to set our minds on God's truth.
