This week we had the joy of celebrating a child dedication where parents shared their desire to raise their kids to know and love Jesus alongside members of our church family.

We also continued in the Sermon on the Mount series, where we looked at Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:33–37 and the call to live with honesty and integrity. In a world full of spin, exaggeration, and carefully managed appearances, Jesus invites his followers into something simpler: let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no.

We explored how lies are often rooted in fear, pride, or the desire to control how others perceive us. But Jesus calls us away from manipulation and toward lives marked by simplicity, humility, and truthfulness. Rather than using words to impress or persuade, disciples of Jesus are called to become people whose character makes their words trustworthy.

This Sunday we looked at Luke 2:41–52 and the subtle reality of spiritual drift — the gradual, often unintentional process of moving away from the presence of God. Mary and Joseph were faithful, devout, and obedient, yet they traveled an entire day unaware that Jesus was no longer with them. In the same way, it’s possible to stay busy with life, responsibility, and even religious activity while slowly becoming distant from Jesus.

We explored two symptoms of spiritual drift: becoming unaware of Jesus and creating distance from Him. But we also looked at two remedies: reorienting our lives around Jesus and learning again to revel in Him — not just doing things for God, but enjoying His presence. Spiritual formation is not powered by willpower alone, but by the transforming work of the Holy Spirit over time.

This week in the Sermon on the Mount, we looked at Jesus’ words on lust found in Matthew 5:27–32. Through this passage, we learned that Jesus is more interested in His followers pursuing the way of love and healing what lies beneath distorted sexual desire than merely addressing outward behavior.

We all come having been shaped by our own stories and experiences when it comes to the issue of lust and sexual desire. Knowing this, Jesus does not call us to hide in shame or shift responsibility onto others when our minds falter. He has a beautiful invitation for us—one of honesty, healing, community, and restoration through His unconditional grace and the power of the Holy Spirit.

This week, we continued in our Build My Life series, looking at what Jesus has to say about the dangers of anger in Matthew 5:21–26.

While anger is a God-given emotion and a way that we reflect being made in His image, it can also be a destructive issue in our hearts, leading us to devalue and dehumanize others.

For Jesus, anger and insult are taken seriously because every person carries God-given worth and dignity. Jesus calls His followers to embody this reality. The way of Jesus is not fueled by outrage, contempt, or self-righteousness. It is marked by humility, reconciliation, and love. God is slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love—and His people are called to reflect that same heart in the way they speak, think, and relate to others.

This past Sunday, we looked at Matthew 5:17–20 and how Jesus reframes our understanding of the Law. While we may naturally resist rules, Jesus makes it clear He didn’t come to abolish the Law but to fulfill it, showing its true purpose and how it ultimately points to Him. At the same time, He calls us to take His commands seriously—not by striving for perfection on our own, but by growing in steady, intentional obedience.

The righteousness He speaks of isn’t something we earn, but something we receive through Him, since He has already fulfilled the Law on our behalf. As we move forward, we aim for what Eugene Peterson beautifully calls “a long obedience in the same direction.”

This Sunday, we continued our series Build My Life by looking at Matthew 5:4–6, where Jesus redefines the path to a blessed life. In contrast to a culture that tells us to chase happiness, Jesus points to a counter-cultural foundation: mourning, meekness, and hunger for righteousness.

We learned that mourning is not the absence of joy, but the pathway to it. When we honestly face our sin and the brokenness around us, we open ourselves to God’s comfort and healing. Meekness is not weakness, but strength under control—a life rooted in trusting God rather than striving for ourselves. And to hunger for righteousness is to deeply long for right relationship with God and others, while being satisfied in what Christ has already given us.

This week, we began a new series on the Sermon on the Mount—Jesus’ vision for life in the kingdom of God. Following him is not just about belief or behavior modification, but about a transformed heart that leads to a transformed life. In this sermon, Jesus invites us to move from simply hearing his words to living them as his disciples.

He begins not with commands, but with blessing. The Beatitudes redefine the good life, showing that true flourishing is not found in self-sufficiency, but in dependence on God. This week, we focused on the first blessing: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” To be poor in spirit is to come to God with empty hands—aware of our need and unable to rely on ourselves.

Yet we do not leave empty-handed. Jesus promises that the kingdom is ours even now, leading to freedom, deeper prayer, and a greater capacity to receive from God. This is the starting point of life with him: humble dependence that opens the door to true blessing.
