The Good Life

Judgement

What is ‘the good life’? A good job? Wealth? Fame? Love? Family? Jesus said he came to give us life in all its fullness. We’re going to look at the sermon on the mount to see what he meant.

Let’s be honest: we like to judge people. Well, maybe we don’t like to, but we do it a lot. Jesus told those who follow Him that if we judge others, the same judgement comes back onto us. And let’s face it, as much as we may judge, we don’t want to be judged. So how can we stop? In this sermon we get some practical advice on how to stop judging, why we need to, and how it can lead to us finding the good life.

What Do You Treasure?

What is ‘the good life’? A good job? Wealth? Fame? Love? Family? Jesus said he came to give us life in all its fullness. We’re going to look at the sermon on the mount to see what he meant.

“If only…” How many times have you caught yourself saying that? If only I had a bit more money. If only I had a bigger house. A nicer car. A better job. Trusting God to provide for our needs is tough. But if you’re focused only on what you don’t yet have, you are missing out on all that God has already provided you. Jesus promises us everything that we need, so it’s time to re-frame your thinking. Today we talk about how.

Practicing the Good Life

What is ‘the good life’? A good job? Wealth? Fame? Love? Family? Jesus said he came to give us life in all its fullness. We’re going to look at the sermon on the mount to see what he meant.

Jesus gives us three practices for living a good life. Today we take a loot at what they are and how they apply to our context. The Bible says that the good life doesn’t consist of fame or the approval of others – but consists instead of pleasing God who alone knows our motives. We need to concern ourselves solely with God’s approval, not the approval of others.
