Summer on the Mount

The Upside-Down Life of Jesus

This summer, join us as we journey through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), one of the most challenging and transformative teachings in all of Scripture. In a world that often values power, success, and self-interest, Jesus invites us into an upside-down way of life marked by humility, integrity, trust, mercy, and love. Together, we'll explore what it means to follow Jesus and build our lives on the solid foundation of His kingdom.
