What does it mean to live a meaningful life? Our culture offers countless answers—success, wealth, relationships, self-discovery—but often, these pursuits leave us feeling empty. In A Life Worth Living, we’ll explore Jesus’ teachings in the Sermon on the Mount, uncovering how to find true fulfillment by living in light of His Kingdom.

This eight-week series will challenge, inspire, and guide us toward a life that’s deeply rooted in God’s love, wisdom, and purpose. Join us as we discover how Jesus transforms every aspect of life—from our relationships to our priorities—and invites us to experience a life worth living.

Jesus calls us to a deeper righteousness—one that transforms our hearts and how we see others, addressing issues like anger and lust. (Matthew 5:17-30)

How do we love others—even those we disagree with? Jesus teaches us to approach relationships with integrity, generosity, and grace. (Matthew 5:31-48)

Week 4 (Jan. 26th): Living for One
