Midweek Check-In: How’s Your Foundation?

We’re halfway through our final week of Living the Sermon on the Mount.

Jesus ends the Sermon on the Mount with a picture: two builders. Same storm. Different foundations.

Storms don’t reveal our foundation — they reveal what we’ve been building on all along.

So here’s your midweek pause:

Have you taken your obedience step yet?
What has tried to shake your foundation this week?
Are you just hearing Jesus’ words — or practicing them?

It’s not too late to begin (or begin again).

Take 10 minutes today: 📖 Read a few verses from Matthew 5–7
🙏 Ask, “What would it look like to actually do this today?”
🪨 Take one small, concrete step.

Strong foundations aren’t built in a moment — they’re built in daily obedience.

Keep going. 🌅

Please invite your friends to the Super Bowl potluck party! There will be a short service before kick off.

Today we begin our second weekly practice as we continue re-entering the Sermon on the Mount together.
Jesus invites us into a way of life marked by faithfulness, honesty, restraint, and even love for our enemies—not just in theory, but in the ordinary moments of our week. So this week, we’re inviting you to choose one small practice that helps you live this teaching between Sundays.

👉 Choose one practice for the week:

1️⃣ Covenant Care
Intentionally invest in one committed relationship this week. Offer time, attention, or forgiveness.

2️⃣ Truth-Telling
Speak plainly all week—no exaggeration, no over-promising. Let your “yes” be yes.

3️⃣ Non-Retaliation
When wronged or annoyed, resist the urge to defend yourself or get even. Practice restraint instead.

4️⃣ Enemy Prayer
Pray daily for one person who frustrates, opposes, or challenges you. Use their name.

You don’t need to do all of these.
You don’t need to do them perfectly.
Just choose one—and notice what God reveals.
We’ll walk through the week together.
