It’s been said that forgiveness is what everyone wants but no one likes to give. Jesus knew this and reveals more and more of His upside down kingdom of God specifically to Peter. In reading Matthew, we also can learn that forgiveness is not just something to receive but is required to be extended to even the deepest offenses and offenders in our lives.

Who do you say that Jesus is? That is the question that Jesus asked his disciples in the book of Matthew. Not so coincedently that question also is for us 2000 some years later. Jesus came to offer humanity hope and to be a savior… it just wasn’t quite what or how people were expecting. Jesus’ Kingdom wasn’t forceful, violent, or political; it was quite the opposite.
Join us this weekend as we continue to explore who Jesus is and why He came. Also we are excited to share with you all Lakeview Christian Preschools: Preschool Sunday 2023!

There are quite a few important storied of Jesus that we could look at that reveal the Kingdom of God. Join us this weekend as we take a look at a miracle that is in a different category than almost every other act of Jesus while he was on earth; the feeding of the five thousand.
In this story the miracle is not only focused on what was provided for the crowd but as we will learn Jesus’ intention might have been just as much as a teachable moment as meeting a physical need.

After Jesus had revealed to the crowds a glimpse of what The Kingdom of God looks like through many signs and wonders we get introduced to a teaching style that we know as Parables. These short and relatable stories were not always easy to understand and were even intended to thin the crowd.
Why might Jesus do this? Join us this week as we discover why Jesus might have intentionally spoke in what seemed like riddles.

Jesus was in known for many things during His time spent on earth, of those the spectacular healings and miracles were probably the most impactful. A lot of the time it wasn’t so much about the actual healing but it was about the heart and faith behind the person asking to be healed.
“We all need to courageously approach the throne of grace, and in obedience to God’s word give our lives to Him unto salvation, and surrender to serve His Kingdom.”

We live in a world where worry and anxiety run rampant. Jesus has some hope for all of us that struggle with worry or anxiety. Join us as we continue to look at the book of Matthew and one of Jesus’ best known sermons. “The Key to eliminating worry is taking God from under the pile of hay where we sometimes try to keep Him, and put him back in the most important of places in our lives”.

What the Kingdom of God was vs. what the Kingdom of God was expected to be were two entirely different things. Join us as we look at the introduction of the kingdom and what that mean for the hearers of Jesus’ famous words on the mount.
“Jesus wants His audience to know the true Kingdom of God looks nothing like what they expected”.

Join us as we dive deep into the gospel of Matthew and specifically look at how Jesus not only fulfilled the Old Testament prophecies but that he was a continuation and completion of God’s original kingdom.
