Matthew 5:1-2

I would like to share a thought with you that is fundamental to our lives. It’s from Psalm 1: “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful.” This verse teaches us about the Christian life, about what it shouldn’t be. But what should it be?

What did Jesus mean when He said the kingdom of heaven was at hand? In this 3-day devotional by Francis Frangipane, you’ll discover what it looks like for the kingdom of heaven to be at work here in our day and age right now, and how God is calling you to be a part of that.

While the Church may be the Bride of Christ, nevertheless, it is still made up of sinful, imperfect people. That means that hurt and pain are inevitable, even from the best of these. But sometimes, the Enemy uses God’s people to spiritually abuse one another. It grieves the heart of the Lord, and yet, He still believes in His bride. Join us on a 3-day journey through Matthew as we discuss where Jesus is when the church really hurts. Written by: Kenzie McCarter

Jesus was different from everyone else because He belonged to a Kingdom that is not of this world. When we choose to follow Him, we become citizens of that same heavenly Kingdom, called to reach the world while we still live in it. In the “Out Of This World” Bible Study, we’re going to walk through Matthew 5:1–16 and discover three things God wants to shift our perspective on. Prayerfully, as we study the words of the One who entered this world to save humanity, we will discover meaning and fulfillment beyond anything this world has to offer!
