Matthew 7:28-29 — “And when Jesus finished these sayings, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.”

If you were paying attention as we’ve been studying the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus did take the things the Pharisees had been teaching the people and turn them upside down, didn’t He. For anyone brought up in that system of external compliance, but internal defiance, Jesus was doing some paradigm shifting.

This week in our community groups, we’ll look into Matthew 7:24-29. Jesus wrapped up His discourse with a promise and a warning. And He used an analogy that should hit home after the hurricane season we just experienced!

Community Groups provide great opportunities to share our burdens with each other and to help each other with those burdens. Don’t be afraid to share if you hurt or to encourage the hurting.

You’ll find the location and time of the Gathering as well as times and locations for Community Groups on the What is Candlewood page. Then pray, attend a group, and commit to God’s people, the church.

We hope you will continue to excel in showing love to one another. Phone calls, texts, and emails all go a long way in that regard.
