FOCUS – I AM GROWING
SERIES: GOD IS THE TREASURE – I AM BANKRUPT
This series walks through the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 5-7, giving principles for how we are to grow as Jesus followers. As we recognize that apart from Christ we have nothing; we are bankrupt, we pursue obedience to the commands of God in His Word.
Every student should know that:
- Life, joy, wisdom, and purpose are only found in our treasure, Jesus.
- Apart from Jesus we are personally, relationally, and spiritually bankrupt.
- The Christian life is about growth, not arrival.
Every student should strive to:
- Read the Sermon on the Mount.
- Memorize the Bible Verse each week.
- Begin practicing some of the basic spiritual disciplines.
Every student should feel:
- Encouraged that Jesus is the treasure our hearts desire.
- The depth of their personal and spiritual bankruptcy.
- Emboldened to live for God’s kingdom alone.
Every student should want to:
- See the Beatitudes become true of them.
- Put sin to death and live for God’s kingdom.
- Pursue Jesus by embracing and practicing spiritual disciplines.
