In addition to studying the Sermon on the Mount on Sundays, we are studying the book of Mark at Wednesday night Bible study. The plan is to study Jesus’s teaching about the Kingdom of God and Jesus’s life that lived out the Kingdom at the same time. In this way we believe that we will...

Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 7:24-27 “Dig Deep”
Jesus closed the Sermon on the Mount with a parable to teach the importance of obedience. Last week we learned that the difference between wisdom and foolishness is not hearing Jesus’ teaching, it is doing what Jesus has taught. Wisdom begins with being “poor in spirit”, recognizing the need to be taught, to listen, to...
Mark Bible Study: Mark 9:30-37 “Who is the Greatest?”
In tonight’s passage we get to see the continued revelation of Jesus’ humility as the Messiah and the difficulty that the disciples had in letting go of their view of what the Messiah would accomplish and how He would accomplish it. At the same time that we see the humility of Jesus we get a...
Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 7:24-27 “Wisdom vs. Foolishness”
The Bible has a lot to say about wisdom. Men like Moses and Joshua are extolled for their wisdom, for having God’s mind and walking in God’s ways.

Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 7:21-23 “Will of the Father”
The last time we addressed the Sermon on the Mount we talked about being free from fear, that the warning to “Beware of false prophets” was not a call to fear but instead a release from it. Jesus’ words are never to be fear inducing because His character is love and as we have learned...
Sermon on the Mount: Matthew 7:15 “Beware, Don’t Be Afraid”
I had planned on being finished with our discussion about “false prophets” with last week’s sermon, I guess we would all like to be done with false prophets sooner than later, but the more I read, and thought and prayed there was one final thought that I feel I need to express. There is a...
