Flipped – The Narrow Way

Sermons

Flipped – The Narrow Way

This is the last message of our sermon series called “Flipped”. In it we have looked at Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. That message turned the world upside down! As we draw to a close, Jesus challenges us to make a choice. Do we want to follow the crowd along the wide and easy road towards destruction? Or, are we willing to do the heavy lifting in our own spiritual lives to stay on the narrow path? This is the way that leads to life. It is not the easy path, but it is the path that brings the greatest joy. Join us as we decide which path to take.

Sermons

Flipped – Belongings

This is week 5 of a six week series called “Flipped”. In it, we are looking at the Sermon on the Mount, and how Jesus turned the world upside down with it! Today we examine materialism. Sometimes it’s wanting to keep up with the Jones’s. Other times we are searching for security and think possessions can bring it. But, ultimately only Jesus gives us what we most need. And our relationships are the second greatest gift from God.

Charity is a difficult topic! Many people today sincerely need help. Sadly, many other people abuse the generosity of others. In this message we will look to one aspect of giving found in the Sermon on the Mount. Lord willing, this can give us wisdom to help discern how God is leading us in our own acts of charity.
