Experiment in Kingdom Living

We are going to be doing a little bit of an experiment over the next few months within the context of a small group. As a group we have identified a desire to work through the teachings and Way of Jesus by using the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew. Our hope is not just to look at it for the purpose of understanding and knowledge but rather as a group push, challenge, pray, and encourage each other in true authentic Kingdom Living. Thus it is an experiment because we don't know what will happen and chances are high we could fail and be no more involved in the Kingdom then we are at this present time. Which, speaking only of myself, is not that involved.

Each week I will post some background info, thoughts, and questions on the words of Jesus in Matthew 5-7. Though many of you will not be directly involved in our home group I encourage you to enjoy from the outside looking in as we experience life together. I encourage your thoughts and questions along the way.

God may you use stuff like blogs and food and friends to reveal the Way of the Kingdom to us. May you give us the courage to live for You and not ourselves. May we see Your Kingdom come here one earth as it is in heaven.
Amen
