The Good Life: Season 2, Episode 3

Hello there! 

This week we continued our study of the Sermon on the Mount. (If you were absent, click here to watch the sermon back--you won’t want to miss it!) 

In 2025, we want to focus in on finding purpose. Each of us has an idea of what “the good life” looks like, but Jesus challenges us to rethink “the good life” through the lens of God’s Kingdom. With that in mind, here are some resources we’ve curated for you based on the Scripture passage we read and the message from Sunday.

This Sermon contains some of Jesus’ essential teachings that are still relevant for Christians today, and we want to encourage you to engage with this message throughout the week, not only on Sundays. With that in mind, here are some resources we’ve curated for you based on the Scripture passage we read and the message from Sunday! 

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:

“‘Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

10 your kingdom come,

your will be done,

    on earth as it is in heaven.

11 Give us today our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts,

    as we also have forgiven our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation,[a]

    but deliver us from the evil one.[b]’

14 For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

Finally, here are some questions that you can use in your personal study to reflect on, whether in journaling, prayer, or conversation. 

How can I let the simplicity of the Lord’s Prayer invite me into further intimacy with the Lord? 

Is there anything I am holding in my heart that would prevent me from receiving forgiveness?   

Know that you are deeply loved and called to share that love with others. We hope to see you next week as we continue to learn and grow alongside you! 

Grace and Peace,
