Home can mean different things to different people. For followers of Jesus, this world is not our home. Over these next four days, we will be exploring what it means to live as citizens of Heaven here on earth, preparing for the coming of our King. 

HOME

“You have heard it said…” 

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus begins to rebuild and reform our understanding of life in His Kingdom. In Matthew 5-7, He challenges the religious traditions of His day and the competing worldviews of our own. His words are a call to transformation—a new way to live under His reign. As Jesus lays the foundation for His Kingdom, we are invited to tear down false beliefs and build our lives on His truth. 

The Rebuild: Matthew 5-7

When Jesus said that the harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few, he also provided the initial step for solving this dilemma. “Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field” (Matthew 9:37-38, Luke 10:2, NIV). This plan examines how praying “sending prayers,” enables followers of Jesus, to have an impact in advancing the gospel.

The Prayer Request of Christ; "Making an Impact Through Sending Prayers."

This plan is designed to provide a special time alone with the Lord during Holy Week. Each day you will be prompted to pause, ponder, and pray through a passage in the Gospel of Matthew. Your heart will be encouraged, your faith strengthened, and your prayer life enriched as you prepare for Easter. May it impact your walk with the Lord for years to come.


Holy Week: Pause. Ponder. Pray.

In Matthew 5:38-48, Jesus doesn’t shy away from giving us the very challenging command to love our enemies. 

Now, maybe you are a man who rightly discerns that you don’t have any “enemies.”  But for our purposes, we are going to define “enemies” as those people who have wronged us, and/or hurt us, and/or who are very difficult to love.

Men, we need the love of Christ within us to really love all people the way He wants us to. This week, we will explore how.
