A Bird's Eye View
This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day. And though for many of us it means an extra day to play, or do yard work, or gather with family and friends for a BBQ, that’s not what this day is about. Established in the 1800’s, Memorial Day honors those who have died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. Across our nation this weekend, those who have paid the ultimate price for our freedom will be remembered and honored. We often hear the phrase, “Freedom isn’t free.” And it is very true. We want to express our gratitude to those who have given all to protect and defend our freedom and to their families for their tremendous sacrifice. Today we gather as a church family to celebrate and worship Jesus, the One who gave up all of heaven’s glory and came to earth to give His life, so that we could experience freedom from sin and a restored relationship with God. We're looking at Jesus' teaching in Matthew, chapters 5-7, which most of us know as the Sermon on the Mount. We’re taking the “big picture view” this weekend to understand the heart of what Jesus is teaching in these chapters. Next week, we’ll dive more deeply into the specifics.
