last wednesday we finished up our series on the sermon on the mount...called ascend.
we spent 11 weeks in all looking at matthew 5,6 and 7. it was the longest expository teaching series that we have done in probably 2 and a half years. it was a great series...people really seemed to get into digging so deeply and entering into the story of God in the way that we did.
so, to come to the final week brought mixed emotions. half of the emotions were really about not wanting the series to be over...to continue to dig and study in new ways. but the other half of the emotions were all about the excitement of hearing what people had learned and what stuck out to people along the journey.
we took some time during the night and asked people to share about what stuck out to them the most, what their favorite moments were, and what they felt the most challenged by. and the sharing was really phenomenal!
there were probably 20 people that shared...and it was such a great picture to hear all of the different things that people remembered and that stuck out to people. many of which i barely remembered teaching! it is so good to be reminded that God works in so many more ways than we know or realize. really just awesome stuff!!
as we move into second semester, we will be moving to some slightly more topical series...but it leaves me incredibly excited to again dig into a section of scripture over a rather lengthy amount of time.
