The Sermon on the Mount
Worship Series | Small Group Study | Home Study
(January 18 to March 22, 2026)
The Gospel of Matthew is our focus in worship for the first half of 2026, and starting on Sunday, January 18, we begin a ten-week exploration of Jesus’ most famous teaching in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5-7).
This is not only the focus of our worship during this time – There are a variety of opportunities to go deeper into these powerful words with others and on your own at home. We are using resources prepared by Bible Project that include short summary videos, detailed commentary videos, study guides and in-depth podcast episodes.
A small group study on each week’s section of the Sermon on the Mount will be offered in the large Sunday School room after Sunday worship from 12:00-12:45 pm. Feel free to bring lunch.
