MATTHEW SERIES

02.02 - Causes to Sin (Matthew 18:1-14)
02.09 - Confronting Sin (Matthew 18:15-20)
02.16 - Forgiveness (Matthew 18:21-35)
02.23 - Divorce (Matthew 19:1-12)

From the ESV Study Bible: In large part Matthew’s Gospel is an evangelistic tool aimed at his fellow Jews, persuading them to recognize Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah. At the same time, the Gospel reveals clearly to Gentiles that salvation through Jesus the Messiah is available to all nations. For Jewish Christians, Matthew’s Gospel provides encouragement to stand steadfast amid opposition from their own countrymen, as well as Gentile pagans, secure in the knowledge of their citizenship in God’s kingdom.

The Gospel, its reality and tangibility, is something we want to explore through our study of Matthew. It is a great privilege to take this opportunity to study the book together. You are welcome to join us as we continue our study.

Matthew 18:2-4
And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them [3] and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. [4] Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Our Mission

Our mission is: helping people follow Jesus together. We want to help people move forward, but we do this with an attitude of humility knowing God is at work in greater ways than we can fathom. We are on a journey of following Jesus for the rest of our lives and He asks us to become more like Him in the context of the church community--together.

Our Core Values

Our core values: define who we are and what it feels like in our Church. These are our four core values:

graciousness: receive and give
togetherness: not solo, but together
engagement​: relationships are key
reproducing: discipleship that multiplies
​

Life Groups

Life Groups are our main strategy for encouraging a life of following Jesus. These groups are focused on learning four life-giving practices. 

prayer: focused on Him more than us
truth: engagement with ideas
relationships: honesty and authenticity
impact: of God's work in and around us
