The Good Life
“Blessed are the sat upon, spat upon, ratted on…”
From our earliest beginnings, humans have wondered, “what makes up a good life? What does a full, flourishing life look like?” How we answer these questions shapes the whole trajectory of our existence. This summer at FPC, we’ll be exploring how Jesus addresses this question.
The “Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew 5-7 is Jesus’ signature teaching on what a flourishing life- a life in “God’s kingdom”- actually looks like. This summer, we’ll be listening together to the Sermon on the Mount as Jesus shows us what it looks like to live every dimension of life- prayer and work, service and friendships and sex, the present and the future- with the God who made us. So whether you’re just beginning to explore Christian faith, or are a longtime follower of Jesus, plan on joining us as we follow Jesus into lives that flourish!
