11.7 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 7) - Matthew 5:38-48

Jason Miller- When Jesus speaks to people in abusive situations and tells them to turn the other cheek, is he prescribing passive acceptance? Or is he teaching something more subversive?

10.31 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 6) - Matthew 5:33-37

Beth Graybill - Jesus warns us about taking oaths, and instead, challenges us to tell the truth. Why would he make this kind of comparison? And what makes it so hard for us to tell the truth?

10.24 [VISION] A different kind of conversation about church and giving

Jason Miller - We're taking a break from our series on the Sermon on the Mount to have a candid conversation about church and giving. This is a teaching probably unlike ones you've heard before about church and money, and it includes a bit of a mythbuster on tithing and the local church. It includes reference at the end to a work of art called "Tethered Sky" by Robert and Shana Parkeharrison. If you'd like to see the image, it's easily found through a web search.

10.17 [VISION] SBCC‘s future home, part 2

Jason Miller - In September, we began a process of communal discernment and feedback as we prepare for the end of our current lease at Studebaker 112 and consider some new possibilities for where we'll call home. Our lead pastor, Jason, took some time in this week's gatherings to report back to the community the feedback we've heard, and to let you know where things stand.

10.17 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 5) - Matthew 5:27-32

Jason Miller - Jesus warns against lust and divorce. Are these matters of purity, or is something deeper going on?

10.10 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 4) - Matthew 5:17-24

Jason Miller - As Jesus begins to give us pictures of the life of God in the sermon on the mount, he takes the prohibition against murder and stretches it to include a condemnation of anger. Why does he do that? Is this just a heavy burden, or a new possibility?

10.3 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 3) - Matthew 5:13-16

Jason Miller - Right after telling people that the kingdom of God is theirs, regardless of any aspect of their circumstance, Jesus speaks of being salt and light. What could these images mean for us, and what purpose do they serve?
