In Matthew 7:13-29, Jesus concludes the Sermon on the Mount by presenting us all with a choice - a choice between a way of life that leads to the kingdom of heaven, and a way of life that leads to destruction. What are these two ways? And which way will you choose? We'll dig into the conclusion to the Sermon on the Mount in this sermon.

In this sermon, we'll be wrestling with how the pastors are balancing three biblical priorities as we move forward as a church in the pandemic: 1) meeting together regularly for worship & fellowship; 2) caring for the vulnerable and at-risk; and 3) submitting to our governing authorities. Why have we so drastically trimmed back our corporate life as a church, when Scripture explicitly commands us not to neglect meeting together for worship and fellowship? Zach will seek to answer that question in this sermon.

Pastor Zach responds to 3 questions submitted from the congregation in part 1 of this Questions & Answers series.

In this sermon we begin to walk through John 3:1-21, one of Jesus’ most intense evangelistic encounters recorded in the Gospels, which directly lays out the chief requirements for living with God in His eternal kingdom. In part 1 we focus on the necessity of the ‘new birth’ and the meaning of Jesus’ words, “You must be born again”.
