You Have Heard // The Narrow Gate

This week we talk about knocking, asking, and the narrow gate. What does it mean for us to take the Sermon on the Mount seriously?

You Have Heard // The Condemnation of Others

This week we see what Jesus has to say about judgment. How does our condemnation of others comes from a desire to control them? Jesus always prioritized people, so Christians should, too.

You Have Heard // God or Money?

In week 10 of our “You Have Heard” series, we’re asking ourselves who we let shape us: God or money? The benefits of generosity are peace, thankfulness, and more spiritual breakthroughs, so why do we often choose the road that leads to envy, stress and worry?

You Have Heard // What's Your Motive?

In week 9 of our "You Have Heard" series, we're looking at our motives and asking ourselves: "how many good things have I done for not so good reasons?"

You Have Heard // Subtweeting Your Enemies

In week eight of our "You Have Heard" series, Dr. Carlos Smith takes a look at what Jesus said about loving our enemies- which, in the age of hard politics, generational hurts and subtweets, is a lot harder to do than we may think.

You Have Heard // Getting Revenge

It's Week 7 of our "You Have Heard" series in which we do a deep dive into the Sermon on the Mount. This week we're talking about REVENGE and the impact it has on both our own souls as well as society at large.

You Have Heard // People of Integrity

This week, we're learning how to be people of integrity by keeping our word without swearing by it and examining why gossip, lies and complaining has such a big effect on who we say we are.

You Have Heard // Looking for Loopholes

This week, we're talking about marriage, divorce, and how we need to stop looking for loopholes in order to take responsibility and pursue excellence in relationships. 

You Have Heard // Lust is Convenient

This week, we're talking all things lust- and asking ourselves: isn't it better to forgo something that is culturally convenient for what Jesus says is spiritually essential?

You Have Heard // What is Anger Doing to You?

In week 3 of our "You Have Heard" series, we're getting real and going deep into anger- what it is, what it does to us and to others, and how it prevents us from loving people.
