Treasures in Heaven (Matthew 6:19–34)

By As It Is In Heaven, Matthew, Talks

 

There are all sorts of things that can compete for our attention or affection. But Jesus wants to make sure we have a rock-solid relationship with our Heavenly Father. Therefore, he gives us the remedy to worry, so that we can focus on God clearly and be shaped by the concerns of his Kingdom alone.

Fulfilled (Matthew 5:17–48)

By As It Is In Heaven, Matthew, Talks

 

Lots of people LOVE the Sermon on the Mount. Blessed are the poor in spirit, the mourning, the humble. It’s beautiful! But people who love it often overlook the impossibly high bar Jesus sets in this week’s passage. Jesus summarises it by saying: “Be perfect”! (5:48). Do you really need to be perfect? Can you be? What do you do if you aren’t?

The True People of God (Matthew 5:1-16)

By As It Is In Heaven, Matthew, Talks

As Jesus starts his most famous sermon, he gives us a list of blessings that turn our expectations on their head. Jesus confronts us with the unexpected beauty of the Gospel: That God’s people aren’t those who look the most together and impressive; it’s those who are broken, needy and humble–poor in spirit, and thirsting for righteousness–who belong to the true people of God.

Follow Me (Matthew 4:12–25)

By As It Is In Heaven, Matthew, Talks

 

Following Jesus is hard work. That’s why God calls us to turn around and help others follow him. We call this discipleship. In this talk, we watch as Jesus calls his first disciples. We’ll see where discipleship begins, and where God wants to take us. Hopefully by the end we’ll have some idea of how we can be a community that makes and matures disciples who are radically committed to the cause of Christ.
