Kingdom Worship: Genuine Faith | Matthew 6:25-34
We are ten weeks into our fall series called The Kingdom. This series is an in depth study on the Sermon on the Mount, a long section of Jesus’ teaching focused on what it means to be a citizen of God’s kingdom. Chapter six focuses on right worship, that which comes from the heart. This week we will explore the topic of faith. Jesus brings up the concept of anxiety, and explains how a citizen of His kingdom navigates the worries of the world in a way that is pleasing to Him.
Kingdom Worship: Genuine Pursuits | Matthew 6:19-24
This fall we are studying Matthew 5-7 closely, looking at Jesus’ teaching on The Kingdom. We are starting to see that kingdom membership is defined by genuine worship—that which comes from the heart and is aimed at pleasing God. In this section, Jesus brings up the pursuits that are pleasing to God and the pursuits that are not. Listen in as we learn from Jesus about genuine pursuits.
Kingdom Worship: Genuine Prayer | Matthew 6:5-15
We are eight weeks into our fall series called The Kingdom. In this series we have been exploring Jesus’ teaching on what it means to be a citizen of God’s kingdom. We are currently in chapter six in which Jesus explains worship that is truly pleasing to God. This week Jesus will unpack common misunderstandings regarding prayer in hopes of instructing His people toward genuine prayer.
Kingdom Worship: Genuine Giving And Fasting | Matthew 6:1-4,16-18
We have seen so far that the purpose of the Sermon on the Mount was to teach on what it means to belong to God’s kingdom. Last week we wrapped up chapter five in Matthew, which was largely devoted to explaining the kingdom laws. This week we are starting chapter six, which mostly explains kingdom worship. In this chapter Jesus presents examples of misconstrued or inauthentic worship and explains afresh what pleasing worship to God looks like. Jesus' main point in this chapter is that the worshipers of their day had made worship merely external, aimed at gaining the attention of others. However, God desires worshipers who praise Him from the heart. Listen in as we discuss the first part of kingdom worship: genuine giving.
