Sermon Series
by Pastor James Taylor
“The Kingdom Way: Becoming Apprentices of Jesus”
Series Overview: The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) is Jesus’ blueprint for life in God’s Kingdom. Drawing from Dallas Willard’s emphasis on transformation through spiritual disciplines and John Ortberg’s call to live as Jesus’ apprentices, this six-week series invites us to align our hearts, actions, and relationships with the Kingdom. Each week challenges us to grow as disciples and invites us to surrender our lives to Jesus, the Master Teacher.
