As you prepare for our time together this Sunday, 2 Peter 1:3-11. The Beatitudes in Matthew chapter 5 are very similar to Peters list of attributes that Christians should strive towards. Very often, we view these lists as only commands, and not as a process. However, the Beatitudes begin with “Blessed are the poor in spirit…” The poor are those who lack, who have not, who are in need, and to them is granted the Kingdom of heaven. Likewise, in 2 Peter, the apostle prefaces the passage by saying “His divine power has granted us all things that pertain to life and godliness…” Friends, this journey of sanctification is difficult, but we do not do this alone. Instead, we pursue knowledge of God and living on mission for Him through the power and work of God. Rely on him as you seek to obey him.

This Sunday, Drew will teach on the first 4 of the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. Come ready to be encouraged and challenged, by the work of God in blessing the saints!

As you prepare for our time together this Sunday, spend some time praying through 1 John 1:5-10. God is separate from sin and calls us to fellowship with him. That’s difficult! Through Christ, we have full access, but sin remains in our lives. This week, spend time working through sin that you may find in your daily life. What does it look like to let light shine in on those dark places and make them new again?

This Sunday, Matthew will teach about the calling of the disciples and the beginnings of Jesus public ministry. This is foundational for our lives and what do, because our lives should be marked by the same things that marked Jesus’ life. Let’s embrace this goodness together!

As you prepare for our time together this Sunday, spend some time praying through John 15:1-11. Fruit and fruitfulness are major themes of the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. It is significant that John the Baptist instructs the pharisees that he encounters in Matthew 3 to “bear fruit in keeping with repentance.” Often, as a Christian, I can become consumed with productivity. Am I doing enough? Am I pleasing to the Lord? However, fruit is only good if it is connected to a healthy vine or plant. As you prepare for Sunday morning, spend some time evaluating how much you abide in Christ. Are you abiding in Christ or is the fruit you are producing selfish, prideful and self-protecting? Between now and Sunday, walk through John 15, pray and renew your connection to Jesus. He’s ready to refresh you with the Holy Spirit.

This Sunday, Drew will expound upon John the Baptist’s role as forerunner of Christ and Jesus’ baptism by John. This text is full to the brim with themes of death, resurrection, fruitfulness, obedience and more. Gas up friends, because its going to be a trip worth taking!

As you prepare for our time together this Sunday, spend some time praying through John 13:31-35. Following Jesus comes at great cost. We live in a part of the world where religious freedom is still expected. For Joseph and Mary, being obedient to God cost them their homes and their normal lives. What does following Jesus cost you? Are you ready and willing to follow him even if it costs you everything? May God teach you how to value the Kingdom of Christ above your safety.

This Sunday, Drew will expound upon Herod and his opposition to the Kingdom of God and the Messiah. The Kingdom will remain even amidst great political and personal opposition. Come ready to focus and learn about what it may cost follow Christ in a world that doesn’t understand the love of God.

As you prepare for our time together this Sunday, spend some time praying through Psalm 138. Jesus is the King over the universe. He is the one who has raised his name up as a banner for us to follow. Yet, he looks after those who are downcast and lowly. Wherever you find yourself this week, pray that God would reveal his presence to you today, for He is the God of the outcast and alone.

This Sunday, Drew will continue our study through the Gospel according to Matthew. We will study the journey of the Magi and their interaction with King Herod. This text is all about how the Kingdom of God conflicts with the Kingdoms that we build. Come ready to focus and learn about the Kingdom of God.
