Join us for the start of our new series. Becoming more and more like Jesus in every way inspires us. If you wanted to dive into the unique lens through which Jesus interprets the faith and communicates the heart of God to the first disciples, you have to explore the moment called the Sermon on the Mount. This moment is where he begins to turn the traditions into a new perspective; bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth. The teachings were not a contradiction, but they were an abrupt culture shift. So, we begin a journey to explore these crucial teachings, challenging us to follow THE JESUS WAY.
