The Kingdom and Blessing (Matthew 5:1-12)

Jesus came to bring the Kingdom of God and give us life to the full. In Matthew 5-7 Jesus delivers teaching on what it looks like for the Kingdom to have arrived. In this series we look at what the arrival of this Kingdom means for us and how we can experience the power and presence of God every day.

Join us as we listen to Dan share about our vision as a church for this coming year.

Every word of “Scripture is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness”, and these last few verses of Paul’s letter to the Philippians are no exception. We, as saints, have an honorable and wonderful calling, to live for the glory of God forever and ever. And we do it full of the grace of Jesus Christ within us. We have every reason to rejoice!

Philippians 3:17-21 There is great worth in imitating others, if those others are spiritually mature. Are you encouraged to live out your faith by the example of others around you? Or are you to easily drawn to following those whose minds are set on worldly things? Let us ensure we are looking to Godly examples and seeking to imitate them, just as we might imitate Christ. Let us live as citizens of heaven, not this fallen earth, and in so doing we will share in Christ’s vindication and glory at the resurrection of our earthly bodies into heavenly ones.

Key Verses: Philippians 3:12-16 - Here is one of the most challenging passages in this letter, as Paul presents to us one of the seeming paradoxes of our faith, that having just said we must rely fully on Christ for our ongoing growth and confidence, he then challenges us also to push on for the prize. God works in us but also wants to work with us in our path to the rewards of our eternal home.
