[Sunday] Blind Burdens - Kingdom Way - Matthew 23
Jesus calls out the "blind guides" for their selective piety, reminding us that grace surpasses performative holiness. Matthew Chapter 23
Jesus calls out the "blind guides" for their selective piety, reminding us that grace surpasses performative holiness. Matthew Chapter 23
Questions for the Week: Kingdom Way: Blind Burdens
What is your favorite parody movie or song? What do you appreciate about it?
Read Matthew 23. Jesus talked about "blind guides" who lead people astray. Who are some voices in our lives (on social media, in the news, or even people we know) that we need to be careful about listening to?
When might we be "blind guides" to others. When have we been tempted to insist that our way is the only way, or to place burdens on others? How can we be more aware of these tendencies and practice humility and empathy instead?
Jesus criticized the Pharisees for focusing on small details while neglecting important things like justice and mercy. What are some "small details" in our lives that might be distracting us from what truly matters?

[Sunday] Cleansing Mountains - Kingdom Way - Matthew 21-22

Jesus's humble entry dismantles false hope in worldly power and religious ritual, revealing a true faith in His sacrificial love. Matthew Chapter 21-22
Questions for the Week: Kingdom Way: Cleansing Mountains
Read Matthew 21:1-22. What "mountains" (or idols) do we have in our lives that might be keeping us from truly trusting in Jesus?
Jesus welcomed the people that the temple leaders rejected. How can we be more welcoming to those who might feel left out or marginalized in our community?
Contrast the outward 'perfect practice' of religion with the true heart of worship. How do we balance the importance of religious practices with the need for genuine faith and relationship with God? How can we avoid turning our faith into a legalistic process?
Jesus, through the cross, 'throws it all into the sea' and brings the 'blind and lame' into God's presence. How does this image give you hope for yourself and the world?

- Even though we look for security among the stone, Jesus shows us the heart of the redeemer. Matthew Chapter 16-17
Questions for the Week: Kingdom Way: Stone
What is the most amazing statue you’ve seen? What makes it so amazing?
Read Matthew 16:13-28. Peter got it right about who Jesus is, but wrong about how Jesus would reign. When have we, like Peter, misunderstood how God works, thinking he should act with worldly power instead of through suffering?
Jesus said, "Get behind me, Satan!" to Peter when he resisted the idea of suffering. When have we been tempted to avoid suffering, or to think suffering means God has abandoned us? How can we remember that God works through suffering?
What practical steps can we take to shift our focus from worldly power to the "Kingdom Way" of love, sacrifice, and service?

[Sunday] Crumbs - Kingdom Way - Matthew 14-16

- God's grace, even in "crumbs," is sufficient for all who believe, regardless of their background or perceived deservingness. Matthew Chapter 14-16a
Questions for the Week: Kingdom Way: Crumbs
Have you ever felt like you deserved something good to happen to you because you had been "good" or followed the rules? How does this sermon challenge that way of thinking, and how does it relate to the idea of grace?
Read Matthew 15. Jesus interacts with the Pharisees and then the Canaanite woman. How do these two encounters contrast in terms of who they were and how they approached Jesus? What does this teach us about true faith?
Jesus initially seems harsh to the Canaanite woman, even comparing her to a dog. Why might Jesus have responded this way? What does her response ("even the dogs eat the crumbs") tell us about her faith and humility?
Reflecting on Matthew 14-16, what are some other examples of people's faith (or lack thereof) that we see in these chapters? How do these stories, including the Canaanite women's, help us understand the gift of Jesus’ true faith?

[Sunday] Mustard, Yeast, & Weeds - Kingdom Way - Matthew 13
The kingdom of heaven is like: Mustard of unexpected value, Yeast of transformative grace, and the surprising truth that weeds may be the pearl of great price. Matthew Chapter 13
- The kingdom of heaven is like: Mustard of unexpected value, Yeast of transformative grace, and the surprising truth that weeds may be the pearl of great price. Matthew Chapter 13
Questions for the Week: Kingdom Way: Mustard, Yeast, & Weeds
Can you think of something in your own life that seemed negative or difficult at the time, but later turned out to be a blessing?
Read Matthew 13. Thinking about the parable of the weeds, have you ever been tempted to judge someone quickly, thinking they were a "weed"? Why is it important to be patient and let God be the judge?
The treasure and the pearl parables show how valuable the Kingdom of God is. If you had to choose one thing you'd be willing to give up for something truly important, what would it be and why? What does that say about what we value most?
How does it make you feel to know that you are so treasured and the pearl that Jesus sought? How should that change the way you think about yourself and others?
