Your Kingdom Come - Golden Rulers

Your Kingdom Come - Simply "Yes" or "No"
Matthew 5:31-37
Words and deeds matter. We don't just hear God's Word, we are to be do-ers of the Word, as well. Our words matter, too. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells us not to swear oaths. Why? What's the big deal with oaths? Well, words matter. And the words we speak point to a greater reality than we realize. So choose your words carefully.
Your Kingdom Come - Kingdom Passions
Your Kingdom Come - Who's Got the Fulfilled Life

Your Kingdom Come - Who's Got the Good Life
Matthew 4:12 - 5:12

Matthew 28:17-20

Ephesians 4:11-16
As followers of Jesus, we get to love God, love others and make disciples. And the good news is that He doesn't expect us to figure out on our own how to make disciples. He equips us! Ephesians 4 shows us some of that equipping and where this equipping will lead us. It is glorious!
