“Our Father”

Perched above, the Sea of Galilee below, his disciples listening in—Jesus shares the longest stretch of instruction for life that was as riveting and relevant then as it is today. The Sermon on the Mount reveals the secrets of life. God didn’t hand us a system of rules and regulations to follow; instead, Jesus explains how God originally intended us to live. In this series, we’ll sit at the feet of Jesus with the first disciples, peeling back each layer of Matthew 5-7, to discover that God isn’t interested in modifying our behavior to conform to his standards. He wants us to become the kind of people who will naturally live the way He intended. He plans to change us from the Inside Out.

Book Recommendation:
The Circle Maker by Mark Batterson. This book challenges us to pray bigger prayers and pray them with persistence. Does God give us everything we want? No—a good father never gives his children everything they ask for. However, the scriptures offer us an open invitation to trust God’s character and his generosity enough to ask.
