This Sunday we are starting a new sermon series in Matthew’s gospel. If you remember, a few months ago we spent some time at the feet of Jesus as he delivered the most famous sermon ever – the Sermon on the Mount. Today we will walk down the mountain with Jesus and examine to what extent the words that Jesus spoke are true. We will be looking closely over the next few weeks at whether Jesus’ actions match up with his words and what that means for how we live out our lives

In the last chapter of 2 Kings, it seems like all hope is undone. For many years, God has been making promises to his people, and they have slowly become realised: for a land, to become a great nation, for the temple, for a king. But in chapter 25, one-by-one, each of these is undone. It seems like all of God’s promises have failed, and God’s people are in devastation. But in the final story of the book, we get a glimmer of hope, that maybe God’s promises still have a hope of being fulfilled. The final king in the line of David is being cared for, even in exile. God loves to give hope in the darkest places.
