Jesus Part 2

Today, we’re beginning a brand-new sermon series called Rebel.

When we think of Jesus, the image that often comes to mind is one of gentleness—meek, humble, wise, and full of compassion. And yes, Jesus was all of those things. But He was also something more—something unexpected.

If you’ve read through some of the New Testament, you’ve likely noticed that Jesus didn’t always go with the flow. He wasn’t afraid to challenge the status quo or confront the religious and cultural norms of His day. To many, He wasn’t seen as a Savior, a prophet, or even a priest—but as a rebel.

With this series, we’re diving into one of the most powerful and provocative sections of Scripture: the Sermon on the Mount, found in Matthew chapters 5 through 7. These chapters contain some of Jesus’ most well-known teachings—words that have echoed through history. But while they’re familiar, they’re also often misunderstood.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll explore these radical, revolutionary, and transformative teachings. Teachings that flipped the world upside down. Teachings that reveal the heart of a Savior who wasn’t afraid to rebel—for the sake of truth, justice, and love.
