Faith defines the borders of the Kingdom of Heaven. But both faith and kingdom are subject to a lot of modern misconceptions. What was Jesus getting at by claiming to be king and challenging people to a deeper faith?  This sermon is part of our "Scriptural Formation Journey" series, where our whole church is going through the New Testament together.

We're kicking off our Scriptural Formation Journey! We started in the Gospel of Matthew. What do we learn about Jesus from the way this book shares the story of the Messiah?

We tend to have lots of “Why” and “What” questions for God. Why is this happening, what are you doing? But God, for thousands of years, has consistently had the same answer. Copyright CCLI License #1116344, Streaming CCLI License #21016201

The goodness of the good news keeps better the more we get it. Scripture says that the Gospel means we are "holy," "without blemish," and "free from accusation." What if we actually believed that were true?  Copyright CCLI License #1116344, Streaming CCLI License #21016201

Everyone is chasing peace. But what if we’re called to create peace for others? What does a life of a shalom-maker look like? Copyright CCLI License #1116344, Streaming CCLI License #21016201

Everyone is chasing those "perfect" moments where everything is all as it should be. The people of God called those moments "Shalom." We all long for it, but it can't be forced, manufactured, or controlled. It must be received from the Prince of Peace who rules the Kingdom of Shalom.

We talk a lot about forgiveness but what those who are hurt by the guilty? Does mercy mean that people aren't responsible for their actions? What is the good news for those who have been hurt by the guilt? (Exodus 34:6, 7) Copyright CCLI License #1116344, Streaming CCLI License #21016201

Sin is an outdated notion. In our effort to rush to "enlightenment" we still sin and suffer the effects of it but we've cut ourselves from the only solution, forgiveness. (Exodus 34:6, 7) Copyright CCLI License #1116344, Streaming CCLI License #21016201
