Our Current Sermon Series
Matthew the apostle presents Jesus as a most-extraordinary king with a most-unusual kingdom. He comes preaching the good news of the availability of God’s kingdom. Yet it becomes clear that this is no ordinary kingdom — not a political kingdom, but a spiritual one. It’s a kingdom not of this world, yet it impacts our world in powerful ways. His is a kingdom that will come to its fullness one day, but already appears today in surprising ways! Amazing things happen in God’s kingdom: Needs are met, lives are transformed, and hope is restored.
An important part of Jesus’ plan in extending his kingdom is his calling and training of a group of disciples. He asks them to follow him, he trains them, and he models life in God’s kingdom while sending them to touch people’s lives at their point of need. In the end, he commissions his disciples, sending them out in his authority to carry on the ministry, proclaiming the good news and discipling many.
Are you ready for an adventure? Following Jesus requires a wholehearted commitment to trust and obey him. It requires our faith to be stretched as we learn to walk by faith instead of by sight. Kingdom life is a continuous adventure for which you were created. Come, let’s follow him together.
