Jesus invites us not to a religion, but to follow Him and to live our lives as Kingdom people. But what does that look like in our daily lives? This Sunday we look at Jesus’ teaching on this topic, and what it means to abide in Him daily.
The Good and Beautiful Life
Everybody wants to be happy, but many don’t know what happiness truly is. In Jesus’ Sermon On The Mount (in Matthew 5-7), Jesus talked about what it looks like to live a happy and blessed life – a “Good and Beautiful Life” where we are transformed from the inside-out and take on the character of Christ.
The question is how? How can we be happy? How can we be transformed? What are some key behaviours and practices that we need to engage in in order to become like Christ?
Join us this fall at The Gathering every Sunday morning and in our Home Churches (small groups) mid-week as we talk through the Sermon on the Mount and how we can experience “The Good and Beautiful Life” together.
