As we start our study of the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7), we need to zoom out and get a sense of how these chapters fit in to the Gospel of Matthew as a whole.

We're heading into a series on the Sermon on the Mount. Sunday, September 14 was the first day. While our live-stream glitched out, Pastor Doug recorded the NIV (1984) audio of the text ahead of time (as an aide to memory work).

How do we know the Holy Spirit is leading us, or when it's just our own hearts and ideas? There's no formula for this - discernment isn't a math problem to be solved, but a relationship to engage.

Sunday, March 9 - Guest Speaker: Sid Koop. This is a continuation and follow-up message that connected with the presentations and conversations we had with Sid the previous day. You can view the morning session "Passing Faith to the Next Generation" on our YouTube channel: https://youtu.be/AHZF9bef5Eo Saturday, March 8, 2025. Gospel Chapel hosted Sid Koop from the Youth Workers Community. Sid walked us through the current cultural climate and issues facing our children and teens, and gave us practical insights into how to best disciple the next generation.

In our last exploration of the letter to the Philippians, we note three interlocking themes that drive Paul's message to this church: the Humility of Christ (2:5-11), the Pursuit of Christ (3:7-16), and the Community of Christ (1:3-11; 4:4-20).
