Life in the Kingdom for the Next Generation, Matthew 5:1-16

This Sunday as we gather for worship we are going to take a step away from Luke's gospel and move over to the gospel of Matthew. 

The fall season is full of launching ministries and this week we are jumping back into Youth Group and Sunday School for elementary students. For the Youth Group at the beginning of the year we are going to be studying Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), which is Jesus' proclamation as to what life in the kingdom of God is like in a fallen world. We live in a cultural moment that is loudly telling us what we should value, what we should pursue, who we are... and as followers of Jesus, we realize much of it is totally upside and backwards in comparison to what Jesus says.

For the sermon this weekend, we are going to take a big picture look at the Sermon on the Mount and go back to the basics of life in the kingdom. If we are going to pass on the faith to the next generation, we need to continually reestablish and live in light of what God says, rather than what our culture is saying. The Sermon on the Mount is the good news of what God is producing in us and through us by the power of His gospel.
