I've got two sheds, and one that was supposed to be my business headquarters is now just full of stuff, three years deep. This week we're digging into treasure, worry, and serving two masters — why Jesus says don't store up what can rot, rust, or get stolen, why worry is really a faith issue in disguise, and why I'm finally cleaning out that shed. Part of our Living the Kingdom Way series, talking verse by verse through the Sermon on the Mount.

Jesus talks about prayer and fasting back to back in this chapter, and it comes down to the same question both times — are you doing this for God, or for an audience? We're digging into what real, private prayer looks like, why "don't babble" doesn't mean "pray less," what fasting has to do with a reels ad I saw the other day, and a special invitation to join a daily prayer movement started by my friend JoAnne. Part of our Living the Kingdom Way series, going verse by verse through the Sermon on the Mount.

We're starting a new chapter this week — Matthew 6. Jesus talks about giving to people in need, and He's not just concerned with whether we give, but why and how. We're digging into what it actually looks like to give without needing anybody to see it, why the size of the gift matters less than what it costs you, and why this might be one of the hardest things to actually live in our day to day lives.

Last week we talked about not getting even. This week Jesus takes it even further — love your enemies, pray for the people who've hurt you. We're digging into what that actually means, how it's different from just "not retaliating," and what it looks like to genuinely love someone who's wronged you, from small everyday hurts to the really heavy stuff.

"An eye for an eye" — we've all heard it, and most of us have used it wrong. This week we're digging into what Jesus actually says about revenge, why "don't retaliate" is only half the plan, and what it really looks like to kill 'em with kindness when someone's wronged you. Part of our Living the Kingdom Way series, talking verse by verse through the Sermon on the Mount.

"On my way!" — and you were still standing in the bathroom deciding on a shirt. We've all done it. Somewhere along the way, "I promise" stopped meaning much of anything, and we started needing bigger words just to be believed.

This week we're in Matthew 5:31-37, where Jesus deals with two things that sound unrelated at first — divorce and oath-swearing — and shows us the same problem underneath both: people following the rules on paper while missing the point completely. Then He says something so simple it's almost funny: just say yes or no, and mean it.

No shame, no lecture — just an honest, porch-swing conversation about what it actually costs to be somebody whose word means something again.

Nobody ever committed adultery just by scrolling their phone at midnight. Right?

This week we're talking about one of the most convicting verses in the Sermon on the Mount — Matthew 5:27-30 — where Jesus takes a commandment nobody in the room thought applied to them and quietly moves it a whole lot closer to home. It's not about your hands. It's about what you let your mind replay when nobody's watching.

No shame spiral, no finger-pointing — just an honest, porch-swing conversation about guarding your heart, and a few real guardrails you can actually put up this week.

You can go your whole life never once raising a hand against another person — and Jesus says you might still be standing closer to trouble than you think. In this episode, we're digging into Matthew 5:21-26, where Jesus moves past "don't murder" and gets straight to the heart of it: contempt, anger we keep on simmer, and the surprisingly practical thing He tells us to do about it. This one gets honest, a little uncomfortable, and ends with something you can actually act on this week. Grab the free companion printable at SimplyBlessedDesignz.com.
