Matthew 5-7: The Way of the Kingdom

In this YouVersion Plan, Eric Petree reveals how we can come to live limitless! God intended for us to live our lives out in ways that defy the ordinary. What does God have planned for you in your life? Is your capacity ready? Are we ready for all that God has for us? Let’s get started!

Limitless

When Jesus saw the crowd and sat down to teach them on some unnamed hillside in Palestine, he refuted forever the false idea that somehow we can be Christians and citizens of the Kingdom of God in good standing without experiencing life change. Let the words of Jesus land on your ears and leave you astonished. The standard of righteousness described in the Sermon on the Mount should leave us feeling utterly helpless when we think of our own small obedience, but gloriously encouraged as we depend upon the indwelling Spirit who brings us into union with Christ’s perfect righteousness

This plan examines how praying “sending prayers,” enables followers of Jesus, to have an impact in advancing the gospel.
