Rooted in Christ, Loving our Neighbors

08/25/2026

We’re excited to introduce our new church planting resident, Trenton Dorner, who joined us this Sunday to continue our journey through the Sermon on the Mount.

In Matthew 7:12–20, Jesus invites us to consider a question we all wrestle with: How do we know if we’re on the path toward true life? In a world full of voices telling us how to live, Jesus gives us three places to look for a diagnostic: how we treat others, the path we choose, and the voices we follow.

In Matthew 7:7-11, Jesus invites us to ask, seek, and knock—not because prayer is a formula for getting whatever we want, but because God is a good Father who delights in giving good gifts to his children.
 Prayer is active participation with God in the life he is inviting us into. We bring our desires, burdens, questions, and anxieties to him, trusting that he hears us and is at work—even when we cannot see it. God’s apparent silence does not mean God’s absence, and sometimes what looks like a “no” is actually God answering a deeper prayer in ways we could not have imagined.
 The invitation is simple: ask boldly, seek persistently, and knock expectantly. We can do this with full surrender because we know who our Father is.

This Sunday, Daniel continued on in our series in The Sermon On the Mount. In Matthew 7:1–6, Jesus challenges our tendency to judge others while remaining unaware of our own shortcomings. We learned that “Judge not” is not a call to abandon discernment, but a warning against playing God by labeling, condemning, or assuming we know another person better than God does.

Jesus’ image of the speck and the log exposes how easily we see what is wrong in others while missing what is happening in ourselves. A healthy disciple grows in self-awareness, but also in selflessness—allowing others to speak truth into our lives and helping others become more like Jesus.

This Sunday, we had the privilege of hearing from Rev. Dr. Matthew Hoskinson teach from Psalm 39 on what it looks like to bring our frustration to God.

Jesus knows what it’s like to live a life that feels short, misunderstood, and marked by suffering. He entered our frustration, carried it to the cross, and rose again so that we could bring every question, every disappointment, and every honest emotion into the presence of a God who doesn’t turn away.

We often assume faith means having the right answers or keeping our doubts to ourselves. But this week we were reminded that God is big enough for our questions, good enough for our pain, and faithful enough to meet us in the middle of it. Honest prayer isn’t the opposite of faith—it may be one of its deepest expressions.

Anxiety often pulls us into tomorrow, causing us to miss the grace God has for us today.

This week, we concluded Jesus’ teaching on anxiety in Matthew 6 by seeing that His call to “not be anxious about tomorrow” isn’t a denial of life’s troubles—it’s an invitation to trust our Heavenly Father in the midst of them.

We explored three anchors for lasting peace: singular devotion to God’s kingdom, daily dependence on His grace, and confident hope in His care for the future. Rather than carrying tomorrow’s burdens today, we’re invited to cast our cares on God, receive His mercy each morning, and rest in the truth that He already holds what lies ahead.

This week, we explored Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 6:25–33 to bring our anxious hearts to our Heavenly Father.

Rather than minimizing our fears or offering easy answers, Jesus meets us with remarkable tenderness. He invites us to look at the birds, consider the flowers, and remember the God who lovingly cares for all he has made—and how much more he cares for us.

Our anxiety often pulls us toward a future we cannot control. Jesus gently leads us back to the present reality of God’s faithfulness. He reminds us that our lives are held by a Father who knows what we need before we even ask.

As we seek first God’s kingdom, we discover that peace isn’t found in controlling tomorrow, but in trusting the One who already holds it.

“Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all.” (Matthew 6:32)

This Sunday, we explored a key part of The Lord’s Prayer: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done.”

Jesus didn’t come simply offering private spirituality or self-improvement — He came announcing the Kingdom of God. A Kingdom not built by human effort, politics, or personal ambition, but one that breaks into the world through the reign of King Jesus.

We reflected on two common distortions: wanting the Kingdom without the King, and wanting the King without the Kingdom. One pursues justice, peace, and community while rejecting Christ’s authority. The other reduces faith to private, individual spirituality with little love, sacrifice, or responsibility toward others.

But Jesus calls us into something deeper: a life fully surrendered to the King and fully invested in His Kingdom.

In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches us that prayer is not about saying the right words to get God’s attention. We pray to a Father who already knows, already sees, and already loves us.

“Our Father in heaven” reminds us that God is both intimately near and infinitely holy—close enough to care and powerful enough to help.

Before teaching us to bring our requests, Jesus teaches us to reorient our hearts: “Hallowed be your name.” Prayer begins by asking God to become our greatest treasure.

Prayer is not about proving ourselves worthy. It is about coming honestly to the Father who already knows us completely and loves us fully.

This Sunday in our Build My Life series, we explored Jesus’ words in Matthew 6:1–6 and the spiritual discipline of secrecy.

In a culture built on performance and recognition, Jesus invites us to stop living for applause and start living before the Father. While the world teaches us to showcase our accomplishments and hide our struggles, Jesus calls us to bring our full selves to God and find our identity in His love.

We were reminded that the church is not a stage for polished people, but a community where real people can be honest about weakness, doubt, and need. And on Father’s Day, we honored the quiet faithfulness of dads whose sacrifices often happen in the unseen places—fully seen by God.

Your unseen Father sees you, knows you, and loves you.
