The Beatitudes

Sermon on the Mount

May 28, 2023 • Sean Gasperetti • Matthew 5

The Beatitudes are a series of eight statements that speak to a posture of living that Christ says results in the blessing of God. They summarize Jesus’ kingdom ethic and the character of Christian believers. They are a call for an inward posture that results in an outward blessing.

Firm Foundation

July 23, 2023 • Sean Gasperetti • Matthew 7:24–27

At every stage of life, we are provided with opportunities to either build on the shifting sands, or to build our life on a firm foundation. God is after our head and our heart; our understanding and our passion. It’s not enough just to comprehend the love of God. It’s not enough to hear the words, we must also do something with them.

Genuine Faith

July 16, 2023 • Sean Gasperetti • Matthew 7:13–14

While there are areas of our life in which we may be able to masquerade as something or someone we're not, we cannot fool God. You cannot fake your way into the kingdom. You can't flash your "Good person" badge to enter God's presence, or eternity. There is only one way we obtain salvation and that is through the person and work of Jesus Christ - crucified on our behalf.

Where Your Treasure Is

July 9, 2023 • Sean Gasperetti • Matthew 6:19–34

In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus calls us to a kingdom way of living by valuing what God values instead of living by the values of the world.
