In this teaching, we’ll sit with Jesus’ words from Matthew 7, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” Not as a rule to keep but as a mirror to hold. What does it look like to let grace do its deep work in us first? To be people who lead with mercy, not judgment?There’s something sacred about the moment we realize the real work isn’t out there, it’s within. Jesus isn’t calling us to avoid truth. He’s inviting us to see with it.To move from critique to compassion.From projection to presence.From performing righteousness to practicing mercy.Together we’ll explore what it means to remove the log from our own eye. Not to walk away but to see more clearly. To love more freely. To become people formed by grace

This Easter message goes way beyond just “Jesus died for your sins.” Drew takes us on a journey from the garden to the cross to the resurrection, tracing the thread of God’s promise to redeem us from the very beginning. It’s full of those “wait… what?!” moments in Scripture that make you realize this story is way bigger than we’ve often been told.

Jesus crushed the head of the serpent. He reversed Babel. He fulfilled every prophecy. He took back the nations. And He did it for love. He came to take back everything that was stolen. And He did.

He has done it.

In this teaching from Matthew 6:25 to 34, we explore Jesus’ invitation to let go of anxiety and step into the freedom of trust. Worry is real. It affects our bodies, our thoughts, and our sense of identity.

But Jesus doesn’t shame us for feeling it. Instead, He offers an upgrade.

Through birds, flowers, and the reminder that our Father sees and knows our needs, Jesus invites us into a life rooted not in scarcity or stress but in the security of His Kingdom. This message walks us through the tension we carry and the exchange He offers.

From clenched fists to open hands.

From striving orphans to trusting children.

When we seek first His Kingdom, we find that God is not just enough. He is near, attentive, and already providing.

In Matthew 6, Jesus shifts us from the public performance of religion to the secret places where real transformation happens.
Prayer, fasting, and forgiveness aren’t meant to impress others or manipulate God. They are invitations into intimacy with a Father who sees in secret.

In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus confronts how spiritual practices, when done with the wrong motives, can actually deform us. But when rooted in love, they align us with the Kingdom. Jesus isn’t just offering a better method for prayer. He is rewiring our hearts to desire His presence over applause.

The real question isn’t Are you doing the right things?It’s Why are you doing them and who are you doing them for?

In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, we explore how Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:38–48 aren’t a list of rules to follow, but a vision for a life completely reshaped by love. Jesus flips everything we think we know about justice and power. In a world that demands retaliation, He teaches us to turn the other cheek, go the second mile, and love even our enemies. It’s not about surviving culture—it’s about subverting it. What looks like weakness to the world is actually a Spirit-empowered strength. Through the work of the Holy Spirit, love becomes our resistance, forgiveness becomes our power, and grace becomes our witness.

In this section of The Sermon on the Mount, Jesus addresses our motive for giving. Giving isn’t meant to be a performance for praise, rather a quiet overflow of our relationship with Him. The way of the Kingdom is upside down. It’s not about being seen, but being known by the Father who sees in secret.

So the question is: Are we giving out of love or out of a need to be loved? Are we following Jesus with depth, or just checking the boxes of what a good Christian should do?

In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus exposed the heart behind lust, adultery, divorce, and oaths. Lust isn’t just about what we see—it’s about what we cultivate in our hearts. It’s desire that takes and consumes instead of honors. When it comes to marriage, Jesus challenges the way people treated covenant like a contract they could break when it no longer served them.

Jesus isn’t just calling us to avoid sinful actions but to address the seeds that lead there. Because what takes root in us—whether lust, anger, or deception—shapes who we become. Just as a plant grows toward sunlight, our hearts grow toward what we desire. If our desires are shaped by selfishness instead of love, we will justify behaviors that destroy relationships.

Jesus' way is about a heart-transformed life, reshaping us from the inside out, making us the kind of people who live in truth, honor covenant, and walk in love.

Jesus isn’t just after our behavior, He’s after our hearts. In the Sermon on the Mount, He takes the Law beyond “Do not murder” and gets to the root of the issue—hatred, anger, resentment, and broken relationships. He shows us that the Kingdom way isn’t just about avoiding sin; it’s about confronting what’s beneath the surface before it destroys us and the people around us.
