Gateway Church
In Mid-February of this year, we opened up the Gospel of Matthew together to begin a year long review of Jesus' famous "Sermon on the Mount". After Jesus shared 9 blessings, or beatitudes, His message continued...with power & purpose. We pick up His teaching from Matthew 5 & 6 for the next installment of TRUTH for LIFE from our Lord, in a 5 week conversation called OFF LIMITS, because Jesus doesn't hold off from sharing truth...even when it's uncomfortable to hear. Thanks for digging in with us! Off Limits #5 [Matthew 6:1-4] invites us to re-evaluate the WHAT, WHY, & HOW...of our service & giving to God.
