Easter is over we had a few days to breathe and now we have our eyes set on what's next. I am really looking forward to our next series. As far as the institutional "church" goes we do a pretty good job of complicating what really is a very beautiful and simple faith. When I say simple I mean "simple" in a good way....you know minus the fluff and extremes that so often characterize and malign the essence of Christianity.
Jesus Christ is the core of our faith and His teachings should be the rule or order of our lives. Over the next few weeks we will be digging into Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-Matthew 7) and in it we will find the true beauty and force of the Christian faith as we look at some of the greatest teachings of Jesus regarding life, relationships, spirituality, and a plethera of other things. (I love the word plethera not quite as much as I love saying rutabaga, but what does a swedish turnip have to do with anything?) Speaking of that, what does Godzilla and t-shirt slogans have to do with the Sermon on the Mount?
